"The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial
means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger
looks at it, it moves again since it is life."
 ~William Faulkner


Here is a collection of the paintings and mixed media pieces I have been working on for the past two years.  I am currently working on "The Fifty States Project," hoping to do a painting of every state in America. 
Thank you for looking.
