I am an artist located in Harrisonburg, VA in the Shenandoah Valley.

These are some of the pieces of original artwork I’ve completed over the past few years.  Most are acrylic paintings on canvas, or watercolors, but I have also created some pieces in other mediums such as wood folk art and sculpture.
