Time to Contemplate
“Song of Myself.” Oil on canvas. 12x 16 inches. $576.
This weekend marks religious holidays for Jews & Christians worldwide. Families and friends will get together to honor and observe their respective holidays.
Whatever your beliefs, I like to think that we can take the time to look outside our own lives and find joy in each other.
I like to say, "Art Brings People Together." I truly believe it. Art, in its many forms, allows us to escape for a few moments and look beyond the daily "chatter" which bombards our daily lives.
My hope is that when you see my art, it impacts you in some way. Whether, it's children playing in a park, a famous woman who has shattered barriers, or a poem accompanied by a soulful portrait. This is why I make art, I make it so people can enjoy it and think beyond their worries.
“Amelie.” Oil and collage on canvas panel. 8x10 inches. $240.
Oil paintings are not just for museums and the very wealthy.
Local artists like myself offer all kinds of art you can buy for yourself, no matter the size of your wallet!
For example, I offer "wet paint" and "first-time buyer" discounts. It's even possible to purchase an original painting over time!
Many of you have been asking...
