Artisanship

Commissioned paintings

Art is very personal, and I have exceedingly high expectations of color, shape, depth and mood that is conveyed in a painting.  Craftsmanship, not perfectionism, is a central theme of my works combined with fun, fantasy, and delight by colorful happy accident.

For the home, paintings establish mood, tone, and texture of the atmosphere.  Calming and soothing in some areas; exciting and uplifting in other more public spaces.  In a corporate environment, paintings extend the image a company is seeking to project to its clients by tying together the design and space planning of a facility and providing an appropriate and comfortable atmosphere for employees and clients.

Whether paintings are for your home or for your corporate environment, please contact me for a comprehensive consultation and begin your journey to acquire a personalized original commissioned piece.
