    <title>Seeing beauty in everyday life</title>

    <description>Artist Statement:   &lt;br/&gt;    Ever since I can remember, I have loved to draw.  As I’ve become an adult, it has become second nature to look for visual interest in everyday life and use it for inspiration for new ideas.  My style ranges from the abstract, impressionist, or surreal to realistic, depending on the mood or tastes of those I am creating for, including myself, because creating art is, essentially, what an artist does for oneself as much or more as for others.  In the past, I have given much of my artwork away, including pictures of people I have drawn.  Although much of the artwork on the site is of nature, I find that creating two-dimensional and three dimensional artwork of people and animals is much more interesting.  Someday I hope to do bronze sculpture and oil painting on a regular basis.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

I have re-titled some of my pieces that boldly speak what emotion and thought sometimes cannot express.  My art is a labour of love, drawn only from the truths I hold in my heart, that rarely I trust to words.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;To summarize several of the most significant pieces on this site: &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;~ The graphite still life, titled “Survival” and “Life Story” is full of symbols representing different aspects of the tragedy of failed marriage at a time when a baby is still so small.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;~ “Agony” relates the intense emotion felt at a time where helplessness, pain and confusion reigns.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;~ “Torn” is a picture about bad timing and the wrenching emotion that can often accompany situations involving love. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;~ “Family” is a very restrained take on the interaction between members of a family.  A slight turn is a nod towards consideration of the others. </description>

Trompe l’oeil or murals are $20 / hour.  I do need to have surfaces clean and ready for paint application.  The more we can talk about your ideas and preferences, the better!  I enjoy visiting about the progress as well, so I know if what I’m doing is to your liking or if you might have some more ideas.  </description>
