Many people tell me that my paintings are the first paintings they purchased to begin their art collections. Furthermore, a large number of those people come back to me years later to add to their collections. This is encouraging, and it is also a warning to you. You may not be able to stop.
Island Bay
30 x 38 inches
acrylic on canvas
This painting was painted in New Zealand during my three month residency there. It captures the color and energy of the ocean near Wellington on the North Island. It is named after the Bay where I would get off the bus from "home"and begin my 30 minute walk along the shore towards Owhiro Bay where my studio was located at Nautilus Studios - Hill Yis!
Bacon for Dinner
30 x 30 inches
acrylic on canvas
Named as such because any kind of breakfast food for dinner is more than merely decadent.
Serious Cat
24 x 24 inches
acrylic on canvas
Yes, it is named after an internet meme. My favorite iteration is this one below:
Dramatic Prairie Dog
24 x 24 inches
acrylic on canvas
Yes, this too is named after a funny clip taken from a Japanese video of a children's show:
She's a Premium Person
24 x 24 inches
acrylic on canvas
This painting is named for younger sister's wry sense of humor (only recently discovered by me) and premium character. It is by far, one of my most favorite paintings from the entire Paradisio Series that I created during a recent trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I am quite surprised it has not been snapped up by some aspiring art collector, but I will be quite happy if it never does. The word "premium" in the title comes from its use by a character in the book Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer.
The Bengal Liger
3 feet tall by 4 feet wide
acrylic on canvas
Named for its skills and magic.
Little Red
12 x 16 inches
acrylic on canvas
You Know You Want It

Music Sketch #24
4 feet tall by 5 feet wide
acrylic on canvas
James Tyler O'Neill and I have been creating performance based interdisciplinary artworks of sound and visual art for over five years. This is one of them.
Emergence #2
4 feet by 4 feet
acrylic, and mixed media on canvas
This painting takes my design style and messes with it a bit - introducing chaos to order and inspired by the Minnesota winter.
La Rouge
10 feet tall by 6 feet wide
acrylic on canvas
Big, bold, and passionate.
The End, The Beginning, and Everything in Between
6 feet tall and 8 feet wide
acrylic on canvas
Packed full of emotion, this one is.
