Six Dragons Artwork

I worked in the field of commercial arts for many years, primarily as a visual identity artist and sign maker. While I enjoyed that work, I had always longed to tap into my own personal creativity. I'm happy to say that I'm now at a place that I can devote as much time and energy as I want to exploring that landscape. I'm self taught as a fine artist, however, the business of specialized sign fabrication provided me a goldmine of skills and learned techniques that have contributed greatly to my creative expression. As a result, I have naturally gravitated towards mixed media work. I have a strong connection to the natural world and am drawn to the beauty of landscapes, especially the the southwest. But I also have a desire to go inside, to explore the subconscious workings of creativity through symbolic imagery, the function of myth and the elusive freedom of abstract expression. Spirit plays a big part, as well as the question of what makes us human, so really, for me, it's a journey of self discovery. All that aside, I've been doing this for my own enjoyment for awhile now, I sell and gift a few pieces here and there, but I feel fortunate that I have the independence to create as I please, free from the needs and trends of the marketplace. Most of my paintings are done with high quality acrylics on rigid wood panel and are especially durable. I try to keep them affordable and be assured that all my works are signed and authentically original.
