Wild Flowers of Michigan


This painting was the first painting I had worked on in 15 years. It is a floral study that uses bold brush and colors. The composition focuses on whats important - the flowers! I also used the high contrast of complimentary colors to make the flowers stand out.

Two Clarks and a fish...



This painting was a commissioned piece that was completed from a photograph. I chose to keep the background very simple and focus on the relationship between the father and son and the adventure of catching a fish together. The glow surrounding them was something I added later to bring them close to the front of the image and also seem more connected. This was commissioned as an anniversary present.

Sky, Earth, Water, and Fire


This painting represents the elements of nature and how they interact with each other. It also has references to the native american gods - Skan, Maka, Inaya, and Wi. What would happen if these beings came back to our planet now and asked you what you were doing for the planet?
