Story teller through my paintings.
Hyperrealism
Paintings built to pass for photographs until you get close. The tiger is the clearest example: an extreme close-up, eye to eye, the fur painted strand by strand.
In his words
A storyteller through his paintings. That is how he describes himself, and it is the standard each piece is held to.
Open for commissions
He takes a limited number of commissions, from $2,500. Describe the piece you have in mind and it is quoted individually.
