"Neon"

These paintings are all large sized acrylic on canvas originals, featuring my continuing series of classic neon signs throughout Arizona and the West. I just love the color these neon signs allow me to incorporate into my paintings, and learning about the unique history of each business is just fascinating. So much neon is disappearing across the country, in a small way I can help preserve these treasures through my paintings. All pieces are available as limited edition giclee prints on gallery wrapped canvas in various sizes, including custom sizes upon request.

"Local Landmarks"

These unique establishments and landmarks are very significant in the history of their local communities.

"Sun Devil Sports"

This continuing series is a result of my passion for Arizona State Sun Devil athletics. 20% of all Sun Devil Art purchases will be donated to the ASU NIL Fund.

"Salt River"

From the people tubing down the Salt River to the amazing Wild Horses who inhabit the area, this is a great place to find subjects for my paintings.

"Baseball/ Spring Training"

There is nothing like "Spring Training", which signals the birth of a new season for baseball fans.

"Costco"

I have found Costco to be a great place to observe people, and find subject matter for my paintings, there will be more to come.

"Street Scenes"

These "Street Scene" paintings, are images from the urban environment, that don't really fit into any of the other "series" or galleries.

"Beach Scenes"

Living in Southern California it was impossible not to be drawn to the beach for imagery.

"Fishing"

Never much of a fisherman myself, I was always drawn to the pier to observe them in action.

"Phone Booths"

Before cell phones people actually used public phone booths, I always found subject matter there.

"Seniors"

Senior citizens have always found their way into my paintings.

"Venice Beach"

There is no place for people watching like Venice Beach, California.

"Mexico"

I love the color, outdoor markets, of Mexico, there is literally subject matter everywhere.

"The Media"

These paintings focus on the media in the United States. I became interested in this subject when living in Los Angeles, when there were many sensational court cases, that drew the media in hordes.

"Homeless"

Although, homelessness is not the most romantic of subjects, I always found the power of the imagery was undeniable.
