The process

I offer a personal consultation to my clients to determine their wants and needs. Then I produce the work. Consultations range from a short phone conversation to a home visit. Turn-around time varies from two days for a print to two weeks for a matted frame or canvas. Given my current workload, orders placed before Thanksgiving can be guarantee for delivery by Christmas. Due to the holidays, orders taken after Thanksgiving will be completed by January 15th.

Choices of media

All types of media are not appropriate for all forms of art. We can discuss which of these choices work best for you: archival giclée print on mat or glossy paper. Choose either stand-alone print, a matted print, or a matted and framed print. Choose glass, UV Plexiglas, or non-glare museum glass. Choose wide mat or a floating-frame. I always use lignin and acid-free archival paper and inks. an impregnated print on metal with an attached hanging bracket that positions it away from the wall. Metal can provide a contemporary look and is used instead of canvas when contrast and clarity are desired. a print applied on stretched canvas with or without a frame. The sides of the canvas can be left plain or used to extend the design. All canvas is UV coated to protect it from the harmful effects of light.

Choices of sizes

The size of your print is determined by the space available, the statement you wish to make, your budget, and the nature of the artwork. I can provide prints on paper, metal or canvas in sizes from ten inches to sixty inches. A typical choice from my Fantasy and Illusion Series could be 18" x 24" matted and framed, while the Landscape Series would present well on 40" x 18" panoramic canvas.

Other considerations

Price is determined by the size and the medium used. For starters, I could offer a 12"x18" print for $185, a 18"x24" matted and framed print for $395, or a 45"x18" canvas for $549. Most of my work is custom work, so prices vary depending upon one's choices. Please note: all profits from sales of my artwork through the New Year will be donated to The Peninsula College Fund, which provides scholarships to underrepresented minorities who are the first in their family to attend college.

I am also offering a beautiful hard-cover book that I wrote and published. If you are interested in purchasing this full-color, illustrated 12" x 12" coffee-table book, entitled "It's About Cosmic Evolution," it's priced at $125. This eighty page book contains over forty full-page illustrations of my art with brief narratives telling the story of the universe and the evolution of consciousness. See sample.

Inspirational titles for the Landscape Series

Most of the images in the Landscape Series have been muted through a special process to give them a soft, ethereal effect. Each has a printed word or phrase written on it to indicate a state of being (these prints can be ordered with of without the descriptive words). You have the option to choose your own word or phrase for the image or use one from the list below. You may also choose a non-muted photograph of one of these images.
