Artist & Illustrator

+ The Painting website + The Illustration website

For years I've done paintings and illustration for publications and gallery art (oils, watercolors, acrylics, etc.) The illustrations have appeared on everything from bus benches to ads, in magazines, tv spots and on gift products like coffee mugs, shirts, greeting cards and wall decor prints.

The humor work has been the most popular and most widely published, inspired by growing up on a farm around tale-spinning great uncles and a menagerie of interesting critters.

Living in the western US for years, many of my paintings were of a western nature. Leanin' Tree Greetings based in Boulder Colorado began publishing my work in 1980, favoring the humorous subjects. Currently I am focusing on nostalgic and country lifestyle subjects. Works in progress here

I also do illustration projects for magazine and book publishers, clients and agencies.
