I am an independent artist and writer living in Kentucky using the world wide web to sell my art. My art is offered as prints, books, or on printed items such as shirts. Most of my art is "functional art"...it is printed on items you can use in every day life and it is moderately priced; art should be something in everyone's life not just a shelf and it shouldn't cost an arm and a leg.

I am mostly a self taught artist/photographer/poet, but I have also taken many formal art classes and read many books on technique. I am a memeber of NAPP and have dabbled in things such as being an editor and art director for an online comic book company as well as a webmaster. I have a tendency to not listen to those who think they know what is "in" or "right" and follow the beat of my own drum. Throughout the years I have been given small awards for my poetry and have had my work featured in several art shows. I recently published 5 books of art and before that a book of poetry. My art focuses on the beauty of life and nature. Many of my shots are extreme close up shots of flowers or digital manipulations of flowers.
