About the Artist
As a self-taught, self-representing artist, painting for me, comes from a love of expressing something deep and innate and having it uncover itself on a stretch of canvas, splattered and organized by colors, textures and tones. I live in the heart of the Northwest against the backdrop of natural forests, wooded streams, wayward beaches and private island coves. Living here has brought me into an intimate relationship with nature and has shown me the peace and serenity that can come from being a part of it. When I sit down to paint I travel to that far away place where there is nothing but myself and the beauty of nature. My imagination frequently draws me to the sea and all its aspects, its hidden and mysterious nature, its sometimes lighthearted and calm harmony. Its this dichotomy that I try to convey in my work.

I spend a lot of time on each painting, usually at least 24-48 hours, and will not list it for sale until it is just right, so you can be assured that I didn't just throw a bunch of paint on a canvas and called it modern Seascape or abstract art. This is why I don't usually have 100 listings at a time. By the time I am done with a piece, I'm so attached to it that I almost don't want to put it up for sale, but then i remind myself that my own walls are running out of room :) Thanks for checking out my art!

Commissioned Paintings:

I’ve received many inquiries on commissioned art work so here is how commission pieces are handled: Choose any painting from my eBay page or About Me Page - I can re-create any previously sold paintings in a larger or smaller size. You can also copy and paste the picture and email to me. A 25% deposit is required to start the work, the balance is paid upon completion right before shipment. At the moment I am only accepting PayPal. Once all details are worked out through e-mail, the work is started. I require 2-3 weeks to complete commissioned art, but for paintings that have extremely heavy textured oil layers additional drying time may be required, which I will of course let you know about ahead of time . Once the painting is complete, I email a main picture and a few close-ups for your confirmation. If all is well, then the painting is varnished, edges are finished in gallery black style and your new painting is prepared, packaged and shipped out within 3 business days. For larger paintings I may sometimes use a different carrier. Paintings are packaged in a custom box with appropriate packaging for safe delivery.

If you need an exact color match, purchasing any art online is probably not the best way to go.

Paintings will look their best and most dramatic with designated lighting, especially those that have modern metallic shimmering colors. The best kind of a designated light source is a “picture spotlight” which can be purchased anywhere online at reasonable prices, Ikea has very reasonable prices on modern lighting. But if that is not an option or possibility for you, any light source will still be beneficial.

Framing an original painting is not absolutely necessary but may be something you are considering, and there is a unlimited selection of frames out there ranging in styles from modern, contemporary, to more traditional. There are some benefits to framing original artwork on stretched canvas:

- All your other paintings are framed and you want to retain a uniform look in your room/home

- A frame can help keep the wooden stretcher frame (what the canvas is stretched onto) from warping over time in unpredictable temperature changes and humidity levels

So for now you have decided to forego framing your painting either because you have purchased one that you feel already looks great hung as is since it is on gallery back wrapped on 1.5" deep stretcher bars with a finished black painted edge, or because you don't want the additional expense at the moment (you can always frame it at a later date). Here are a few tips:

Hang your painting on two picture hooks or nails (with anchors) which are appropriate to the wall (wood, plaster, drywall) and strong enough to secure the weight of the piece. Two hooks/nails, rather than one, will allow the painting to maintain a horizontal position. For heavier pieces it is advised to use anchors.

Decorating Tip #1:

Hang high enough to be able to see the painting clearly from anywhere in the room. A spot over a mantelpiece, table or over a sofa (above head height of anyone sitting on the sofa) is usually ideal. If the painting you purchased has metallic paint, you can use a designated light source such as spotlights or a “picture” light (readily available at any home improvement store) to optimize the dramatic effect of the metallic glow/shimmer, but such a light source can really be used for any fine art to spotlight it as the centerpiece that it is.

Decorating Tip #2:

Avoid hanging paintings in hallways or on walls where there is frequent family movement or furniture may be brushed against the wall, but if you must, hang it high enough or in a spot where these issues will be avoided

Handling and Storage

An original painting is a sturdy, long-lasting, and durable art form, and with proper care and handling will last for generations.
Handling Tip #1:

Always handle a painting by the frame without touching the painted surface. Even better, to not leave marks on the black painted edge, you can hold the painting by the back bar(s)

Never let any object/hands press against either the front or back of a painting canvas, as it is pliable and may cause the paint material to crack or chip and may create a dent/hole in the stretched canvas.

For temporary storage or transporting a painting, If you no longer have the shipping box the painting arrived in, place cardboard or plywood on both front and back and then wrap in ‘bubble wrap’ and tape or tie securely.

Never use harsh chemicals or cleaning agents. Occasional light dusting with a clean, soft duster/brush can be done right over the texture. If the paintings has a high gloss varnish, it can be safely cleaned with a damp cloth or paper towel, keep the texture in mind when doing so because high ridges can snag on the rag or paper towel. If this happens where pieces of paper or fibers are left behind, just remove them with your fingers or tweezers.

Tip: Never expose a painting to extreme heat, cold, or humidity, whether hanging on your wall or in storage. Neither basements nor attics are good storage locations, and even a bathroom that has a tub or shower where you know it will be constantly exposed to humidity may not be the best place for it since it can cause the wooden stretcher bars to warp or the canvas to sag. The best place to store a painting is on a highly visible wall for all to enjoy. .
