ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

I am a self-taught digital print artist. I was born in, Albany, NY, but have raised a family and been living in the Turtle Creek Valley-area for the last 21 years. I have been selling digital art prints for the last 10 years. Within the last 5 years I have developed a next generation, optical illusion art movement titled, Optical Tuning.

HOW OPTICAL TUNING WORKS

In the same way that you can fine tune radio stations by tuning into a selected radio frequency, I have fully developed ways to, “Fine Tune Color Spectrums Into Working Optical Illusions” – Hence, how Optical Tuning works.

MY GOALS AS AN ARTIST

Some of my artwork you may find to be aesthetically calming. Some of my artwork you may also find to be a challenge to your visual senses. If either way is so, then I have reached my goals for you as a digital print artist.

Please consider that the artworks displayed at this venue are limited edition prints, with some of these prints being displayed for the very first time. I believe that you will find enjoyment in my artistic endeavors. I invite you to not only take a look at what I have created, but to also take some of my artwork home with you for your own personal enjoyment.

For those of you who are interested in receiving the financial benefits from purchasing a limited edition art print, my signature can be provided on the back of my artworks upon request.

Thank You For Your Support!
