Please contact me directly or click the "more info" link by the painting that interests you for an email box. The email will go to the appropriate gallery if the work is not in my studio. To view older, available paintings (pre-2004) please visit The Painting Archives.

From $150 (for the smallest, 6" square paintings) to $4000-$5000 for my largest work.

Yes. Shipping and packaging costs will be added to your purchase price. I aim to keep them low. If the painting is purchased through a gallery they will make shipping arrangements.

Yes I am, though it must be understood that each painting evolves through intuitive responses and decisions. That means I can work with a broad idea and range of colors, but I need latitude to explore my ideas within those parameters. Specific size requirements are easy to accommodate.

Yes, please contact me about exhibiting and/or giving slide lectures on my work, filling visiting artist slots, jurying exhibits, and conducting critique sessions for art groups and college classes. I can also do product demos for the art supplies that I use on a regular basis. Fees when applicable are available upon request.

Yes, especially smaller paintings (I have lots) and older work. This website is focused on work from 2004-2005 only. Please visit my on-line sales site for older work, The Painting Archives.

Yes I do. I am in my studio nearly every day, working on any of a dozen or so paintings in progress.

Definitely–I enjoy having visitors. Please call or email for directions if you are in the area. I am located near Eau Claire in west central Wisconsin, about a two hour drive from Minneapolis-St. Paul.

The paintings on this site are all created on archival board panels. Some are cradled on back with 3/4" birch plywood, and others have a 2" cradle of the same material. All the multi-panel pieces have been sturdily mounted together with bolts and wood strips so that they can be moved and hung as a unit. The paint itself is oil mixed with a wax medium, which also serves as a final varnish. The surface of the finished painting is very durable and easy to maintain–some of the oldest paintings in existence today were made using wax. It lends a lovely transparency and brilliance to the colors.

Most people do not feel the need to frame these paintings at all. The wood cradle that backs the panels creates a shallow box that makes the painting project out from the wall. Smaller paintings can be placed on tabletops or shelves as easily as hung on the wall, due to this box-like construction. If you do wish to frame a painting, it’s perfectly possible; just consult any professional framer for ideas.

I include this because it really is my very most frequently asked question! And it is one that I don’t have an easy answer for, because I work on many paintings at the same time and each one has its own demands. My best answer is that any painting takes a lifetime--of experience, observation and practice.
