Fine Art and Illustration
I have always had creative pursuits. I worked as a freelance illustrator for a time, for Dorrance Publishing as well. The mediums included here are wood (carving), oil painting, and mixed media (pencil, ink, gouache, pigment with binders) A number of my illustrations include original photographs and photoshop.
