FIGURES AND PORTRAITS

Over the decades I’ve leaned more and more toward landscape and cityscape painting but my first love was portrait and figure painting and I continue to keep my hand in it. As with my landscape and cityscape painting, I paint figures and portraits only from life.

I'm happy to announce my representation by LeMieux Galleries. Christy and Jordan (co-owners of LeMieux shown in this photo) and staff couldn't be nicer and more professional. Many of the artists they represent are my long time friends and colleagues and the high quality of work and eclectic range of styles represented by LeMieux makes it a revered institution in the New Orleans art scene. Lemieux will be the venue for my New Orleans solo exhibits and the best selection of my recent work is on consignment there. Come see my work at LeMieux Galleries!

You might even ponder purchasing one of my paintings or commissioning me for a special project. Most of all I hope you enjoy this site and gain a better appreciation of vision and representational painting.
