Creating art keeps me sane. I take my insanities out on the canvas or the blank page. I am a tormented poet and my demons haunt my words and images.

I explore all areas of creating visual art from fantasy and whimsy to the dark and twisted; from landscape sceneries to glamour shots; from the erotic and nudes to surrealism. Whereever my Muse takes me, I humbly follow. I am her adoring slave.

Passionate and driven to create art that expresses both my inner and outer worlds, I am also just as fervent about the art of others. I don't care what medium one uses to create their masterpieces. It matters not to me whether it is paint on canvas, photography on posters, digital art done by computers, etc. What matters is the image, the finished piece, and how it effects my psyche, my innermost self. I have no favorite artistic subject or genre of art because I adore it all. I live for art.

I've been creating art since I was a small child, from the time I was five years old using red food coloring to paint the hair of the portrait I drew of my mother, who was a Lucille Ball red head. I am a self taught oil painter and photographer, using my brush and camera to capture scenes that strike my artistic sensitivity.

In addition, I also create art, "digital impressionism," via my computer from my self-built, intricate, highly detailed designs and scenes created by me in virtual worlds and then highly rendering them using various digital art programs such as Photoshop CS-5 Extended, PSP, ArtRage, etc., for their intensity, depth and painterly effects. Most of these images take days and weeks from beginning to end to bring to life. I am currently learning to work zBrush and Daz into my frenzy of creating art and keeping sane.

I am an extremely private person, making art solely for myself, helping to better understand my inner worlds and to manage with the outer world. And for the most part I have kept to myself, only very recently breaking out of my shell at the behest of friends and family to expose what I do to the world.

I hope what you see here touches you.
