It's #portfolioday!
I'm a freelance artist using multiple mediums, specializing in book illustration and sculpture. I'd like to illustrate more books and I work with pencil, ink, paint, digital, and a combination of mediums!
My sculptures can be seen and bought online or at fine art shows I vend.

Guess what's coming back for the Piedmont Craftsmen Fair in 2 weeks! Mini clinging critters and new egg cats! I've been wanting to make more ornaments and clingers all year. I'll have squirrels, raccoon, opossum, cat, and fox.

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.
We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

Albemarle has always been a bright and flowery character. As a redeemed barbarian turned paladin, the red dahlia fits him. Red dahlias symbolize inner strength, love, passion, commitment, and the persistence to overcome great challenges.

October has been crazy! I had 2 workshops, one for the NCAEA (North Carolina Art Educators Association) as a presenter and instructor for art teachers, and another for a grant sponsored teaching series to high schoolers. I felt like I did my gourdly duty sharing the fun that is gourds this month! 😁

It's been a long time since I've painted a pet portrait! A lovely memorial piece for a return client.

After my '26 Feb show I might open commissions for paintings on a limited basis.

Me and my many projects now includes 16 sculptures for a dual show at the Piedmont Craftsmen gallery, February 2026. There's going to be some interesting story elements happening, especially with their paintings. 👀
