FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1)‍ ‍What products & services do you offer?

I am a fine art pastel painter who creates realistic wildlife paintings, impressionistic landscape paintings and still life paintings with vintage subjects. I offer original pastel paintings, fine art giclée prints and commissioned custom pastel paintings.

2) What makes you unique?

When I look at the world around me, I think, "How can I create that with my pastels?"  I am drawn to color, contrast, and the uncommon, and gravitate towards painting things that matter to me. I focus on the soul of my animals and try to capture their personality. My still life paintings tend towards vintage pieces that have been discarded or forgotten. In landscapes I am always looking for the light. I create my own painting surfaces using pumice, primers or gesso, and I use a variety of alcohol and water techniques to create underpaintings. This gives my pastel paintings a distinctive look that is paired with enticing visual effects I have developed over time.

3) Can I commission a painting?

Yes. I create customized pastel paintings of animals, landscapes and places for private homes and corporate buildings. To ask questions and start a commissioned artwork CONTACT ME.

4) How do I see your pastel paintings in-person?

You can see a selection of my award winning original fine art pastel paintings and giclée prints at the RED HOUSE GALLERY in Black Mountain, NC.
