When I was young I read all of the Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan series and loved looking at the art work on each of the covers on the paperback editions. I tried duplicating the artwork on several of the covers in different mediums which was probably the turning point in my life where I found that I really enjoyed art and wanted to create my own pieces, so I started working on my own unique style. Today I hope that I can portray some of my feelings and emotions that I feel while I am creating a piece so that I can share at least a part of those feelings and emotions with others and hope that viewing of my artwork will leave the viewer with a memorable experience and feeling.
