Song in the Palm Canyon Print

I am a listed fine artist and has over 30 years experience in the custom fine art, themed entertainment, interior design, museum and private residential environments. With a degree in commercial art, I am, for for the most part, a self-taught fine artist, drawing his inspiration for my painting techniques from master painters such as John Singer Sargent, Thomas Moran, Frederic Remington, Joseph Henry Sharp, N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, Harvey Dunn, Frank E. Schoonover, Arthur Mathews, Howard Von Schmidt, Maynard Dixon, Albert Bierstadt, Howard Terpning and Tom Lovell. The genres of my paintings range from the atmospheric, historical epic scenes of the past, pastoral or ethereal landscapes, intimate portraits and emotionally gripping snapshots of environmental and political statements of our times. I have been commissioned to paint large-scale murals as well as various scenic / faux finishing projects for the Mandalay Bay, New York, New York, Luxor, Caesars Palace, Treasure Island, Las Vegas Hilton as well as many private estates throughout the United States. My artistic specialties include a wide range of faux finishes, including stone, marble, wood, aged walls, organic custom textures and cement rock carving, painted sculpted animals and human figures, gold, silver and copper leafing, various metal patinas, Venetian Plaster, fine art landscape and portrait oil on canvas paintings, murals, painted decorative furniture, as well as custom oil on canvas and pencil architectural elevation paintings and drawings. My artwork is on permanent exhibit at the Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort State Park, is currently in the Senate Hart Building in Washington D.C., has been published in many books and articles, profiled in a Channel 13 Las Vegas news segment and featured in Outdoor Nevada PBS Las Vegas.
