'The hands of a Craftsman, the heart of an Artist.' Heritage Gallery, Laguna, CA
I'm often told; 'Your art is so real looking why not just take a photo'? Well yes, if I could not draw I probably would, however a photo rarely reflects the three dimensional world we experiences, how often have you been disappointed that your photograph did not turn out as you expected?
Let me explain; in a three dimensional world we see things subjectively, photographs can only capture a split second of any scene which often disappoints and is the main reason Photoshop exists.
A well executed painting is the sum total of the artist's experiences and ability, those who do not see this lack the understanding of what art is.
Whether my images are real places or not is irrelevant for reality lives in our collective conscience, it is what makes us humans and it is what makes art art.
I accept serious commissions from collectors.
