I'm an artist in central Virginia. My preferred medium is oil on canvas (soft realism), although I also enjoy dabbling in surrealism on occasion, and other mediums such as charcoal, pen and ink and pastels.

I love painting local historical sites and landmarks, as well as the English countryside and Scottish Lochs. I enjoy traveling to different places and photographing anything that catches my eye for creative inspiration on my canvasses.

Murals and Decorative Painting
I have expanded my fine art from the canvas to the wall. I am now painting murals in any theme, style  or size. I have created one of a kind art on the walls of residences, schools, libraries, fitness centers and doctor's offices, this is in addition to custom paintings.  I also paint (both antiquing and scenes) on furniture, cabinetry, decorating accessories and clothing. My children's murals are done in water based paints that can be easily painted over when the child outgrows the decor. The cost is reasonable and varies per job.

The Hidden Cardinal
In my gallery, visitors have fun finding the hidden cardinal in each painting. It is the Virginia state bird, my namesake, and my special signature. When I tuck the little cardinal away in the painting, it is a symbol that the painting is finished and ready for that last special touch.

If you see something you like, or if my style is pleasing to your eye, feel free to email me. I especially enjoy the satisfaction that comes with providing my customers with a painting of exceptional quality.
