About Me

Thank you for visiting my art gallery.  As you will see, I paint mostly with a coffee medium.  You will also see that I am a stickler for detail and accuracy.  I think it may be genetic, since my mom does fine embroidery and sewing. Most all of my artwork is taken from photos given to me by my family.  The nice thing about painted artwork is that you can eliminate stuff that doesn't look good and clean up the background. 

I like the coffee medium because it has a warm tone and is quite calming to look at.  I tried many mediums before the coffee and just could not get the desired detail.  My first pen and ink piece was very rewarding for me.  Once I tried coffee, I was hooked.

I often get asked how I get such detail.  Several years ago I developed the “point transfer method”.  Using that method anyone can get the same detail as I do (with practice).  This method is described in my book “Walking the Cards”, available from Amazon.  If you paint faces, you know that the key to creating a face is the location of the eyes, nostrils, mouth, and other features.  The Point Transfer Method will do it for you.
