Welcome to my journey in surrealism (where the artist would paint their dreams) or fantasy art, where I create my own worlds using imaginary caricatures from folklore that told stories of magic creatures such as pixies, fairies, tree nymphs, witches, dragons, and other creatures.

My background is a BA in Fine Art, high school art teacher since the 1970’s. In my office furniture career, I created offices ergonomically correct and used colors that made it a place that you wanted to go. Working with furniture, my creations included interior design and color theory, furniture repair, upholstery, faux techniques with paint and stains, reconfigured furniture to update it with ergonomic use.

Currently, I create art from stories told by others that I hope to portray in a style using fantasy that has my art tell stories.
