Two lovely murals for the Normal Heights United Methodist Church, completed in December 2021. This gallery contains my mural maquettes, in progress photos, and of course photos of the finished pieces.
These small acrylic paintings depict a variety of nature’s most stunning mushrooms. Each painting shows the fruiting body of a different species of fungi, arranged much like a traditional herbarium specimen. Each painting has a ‘specimen label’ on the reverse side that gives the scientific name of the mushroom depicted and all are numbered, signed and dated. Dimensions measure approximately 3.5”in x 5.5”in. Acrylic paint on watercolor paper sealed with archival varnish/UV protectant to prevent fading.
Original artworks shown here are one of a kind and available for purchase at a very conservative price. No prints have been produced and each piece is completely unique and painted by hand. To purchase or request more information inquire here.
This awesome project put me working side by side with my friend Nikita — a rather talented artist — brightening up this City Heights alley with two colorful new murals.
This painting is one of the first few pieces I painted at the beginning of 2019. It’s part of a series I’m working on that’s centered around depicting images from my dreams.
Part of a recent series of works that depict images from my dreams.

Traditional oil paintings on stretched canvas created in 2011-2012. This series is my first exploration into surreal imagery. My inspiration came from a wide variety of sources: vintage photographs, macro images and classic cinema (namely Fellini films, but especially Juliet and the Spirits). Most of these pieces were created while I was enrolled in Robert Sanchez’s oil painting courses during my time as a student of Mesa College.
Not available for sale.
These pieces represent some of my earliest experiences with painting. Under the guidance of my friend and mentor Jeff Robin, I started to realize just how much I loved to paint, and how much I loved learning and honing my technical skills. These works were created in my senior year of high school, over ten years ago in 2008.
All pieces have been sold to private collectors and unfortunately are not available for public viewing.
