Do you do commissions?

  • YES! I frequently do commissions! I don't have set prices as they vary in detail, size and difficulty, also there are price changes between acrylic, pen, and watercolor. I generally require a reference photo if the commission is a portrait. Email me for more information if you have questions!
Where do you paint?
  • I have a studio set up in my home, though often since I live in such a nice climate, I paint outside.
What is your favorite Medium to paint with?
  • Honestly, I really like Mixing Mediums in paintings. I think Watercolors are wonderful, they are faster and have a much softer look. Acrylics take longer to do, but you can get more realistic, and VIBRANT colors with it. I also Use Pigma Micron pens in about a .005 Thickness to pick out smaller details, like eyelashes.
Can I use your artwork on my website?
  • I get many Requests to use my artwork on people's website's, I have these guidelines you MUST follow, You can find these answers on my ARTIST PERMISSION PAGE.
Where do you get your inspirations from?
  • Everyday Life! The way a Leaf rustles, a picture of a Fish, My children, a Song. I also get alot of inspiration from my fellow Fantasy Artists! Many of whom I consider my close friends! Such as Jasmine Becket-Griffith, Delphine Levesque-Demers, Maria Van Bruggen, Misty *Benson, Rubidia Hernandez, Nedda Sheshigar, Victoria Griffin, Nene Thomas, Amy Brown, Brian Froud, Boris Vallejo, Julie Bell, Jessica Galbreth, Brigid Ashwood, Linda Ravenscroft,Meredith Dillman, James Browne, Stephanie Pui-Mun Law...Too many to completely list EVERYONE (You can find their links on my link page!).
Do you collect Fantasy Art, yourself?
  • OF COURSE!! I am an AVID collector of all things Faery and Fantasy related!!! I own many Originals from some of the Aforementioned artists! (Much to the dismay of my bank account! Ha ha!)I am also a HUGE Harry Potter Fan, and a Sci-fi fan! (I.e. Star Wars, Star Trek)
Do you ever paint Anime/Manga style?
  • Yes! I Have done a few paintings in that style, and I am really a big fan of it. You can expect to see more Anime/Manga styled pieces from me in the future.
Why do you only paint Fantasy themed artwork?
  • Because it's what I enjoy painting! Why would I paint something that doesn't bring me joy?
Why is there so much blood in some of your paintings?
  • Some of my paintings have to deal with death, and sometimes darker fantasy matter such as demons and vampires. Blood is just necessary to bring the pieces to "life" if you will....That and I really like to paint it. Red is my very favorite color!
Can I buy merchandise with your art on it?
  • Not as of yet, I hope to be licensed soon, though!! If I get enough interest, I may go through Cafepress on my own.
Do you sell Prints?
  • I Stock a Few in my Ebay Store, But normally No. If I have an Original for sale at Auction, and you would like a print, let me know before the auction ends and I will make one for you.
