Woodpecker Talk fills the forest with idle conversation
Joey and Mitty juggle their balls while Woodpecker sees the writing on the wall...
Woodpecker confronts his jealousy
I started as an artist at a very early age. I remember entering my first art contest in 3rd grade, working in charcoal and graphite. Even thought I took art classes during my entire school career I never attended art school, preferring to forge my own way. Over the years I have been employed as a model builder, renderer, designer and freelance artist, which is where I now focus my energy.
My mediums are mostly two dimensional applications such as oil, cold wax, gouache and acrylics, on a variety of surfaces. Each idea manifests in its own individual style. I also work in charcoal and graphite as well as the occasional found material.
I have always made paintings of people, horses, and nature. Not always exclusive from each other, subjects range from mythology to the environment with inspiration drawn from literature, as well as personal process and interactions with the seen and unseen, and sometimes my work borders on the cusp between representational and abstract art .
