One of my favorite teachers at Santa Monica College, Ronn Davis, once told our class that everything you do is a self-portrait.  I have a habit of taking things literally and was relieved when he said this.  While not all of my pieces are photos or paintings of me, there is a hefty portion that are.  Below, is a piece I showed at the Mountain Bar in Chinatown entitled “Come Home”. This type of mixed media portrait is what I offer my clients when they are looking for a different take on a portrait for themselves.

Now, for sale through Shopflick – 3′ x 4′ mixed media painting. “Down in the Water Below” inspired partially by the song by Viking Moses. The maritime themed piece incorporates my love for architectural renderings and the sea and how the tension between the linework and fluid acrylic wash marries into one space.
