<P>           
       I paint in oil. Oil painting is very visceral           
       ... paint has a special feel and smell to it. Each painting can take
from two days to three months to create. My paintings range in size from 8&quot;x10&quot; to 3'x5'.</P>
<p>                    
                        
            Here I've included a wide portfolio of my paintings, in somewhat close 
to chronological order. As you can tell from my work, I paint in a style that is a mix between realist
and surreal. I tend to have a lot of time and space violations, and often inject out of place
objects for symbolic purposes. I also mix in very non-standard textural elements, such as having objects emerged in jello.</p>
<P>You will also find many references to paintings from artists I enjoy, and I 
include influences from a events and emotional experiences I have had as well. 
</P>
<P>Some of the images will have glare on them. That is because I glaze my 
paintings and I haven't yet formally photographed some of them. Naturally, in 
person they look better and will show much more detail.</P>
<p>If you want to know more about what a painting means, just email me.</p>
