If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?

I am...

in a position to create photography and paintings on a full time basis. I am a long term artist. This is my career.

My mission is to have my work in international museums, public and private collections. To create beautiful memorable artworks, bring joy for generations, and inspire others to continue the art of gorgeous photographic arts, is my ultimate dream goal.

About my artwork

Clean, and elegant photography, heavily influenced by classical black and white photographers Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton, Avedon, Horst P. Horst, and lovely works by Irving Penn. I would like to re-stimulate this trend in todays contemporary art world.
