About

 

I am an artist who creates one of a kind oil paintings with great attention to detail. My work features books as the subject matter. I have always believed that books possess qualities beyond their text. I grew up in a small town where there were no museums or galleries. One thing my elementary school did have was a library and a shelf of art books. Reading and looking at art gave me a window into a world that was otherwise not accessible. In a small way, I hope that my artwork enhances the joy that can be found in reading and helps raise awareness of the importance of literacy.
