Hello and welcome to my online portfolio.  On this site you will find samples of my artwork both of the furry and non-furry variety.  Almost all of the pets & portraits you will view were created with color pencil.  I also paint with acrylics when the situation warrants.   All of the artwork was created by hand.  If this is your first visit to my site I invite you to take your time, browse the galleries and check out many of the other features the site has to offer.   I personally update the site quite frequently with new images, ideas & relevant links. (so check back often)  Future plans for my website include an online art lesson plan for aspiring artists,  and a "work in progress" gallery.   I will also be releasing a series of artist-signed prints in the very near future which will feature many breeds of dogs...  So even if you've been here before - there is a good chance  that you will find something new.  For those of you who are also auto racing fans - more artwork can be viewed at  my motorsports website:

As always, I welcome & appreciate all comments and inquiries. 

 I hope you like!
