My home, studio and gallery is located in the beautiful Ozark Mountains. With nature and art surrounding me, I have found my place in life. My goal is simply to share what I see and feel through my art.  I utilize many mediums, however I prefer the  traditions of Scrimshaw and Hand engraving.  Watercolor, Acrylic, and Oil,  are also loves that allow me to express emotions through color and texture. I hope you enjoy it!

I am most known for my scrimshaw which I  meticulously scratch "freehand" on fossil mammoth, walrus ivories, and bone. I then rub the scratched images with ink specially selected to obtain the look that characterizes my work. Although wildlife is one of my specialties, I also create custom designs depicting pets and other imagery upon request.

The work featured throughout this site is complemented by my equine and exotic animal paintings. Feel free to explore my little world of expressionism and send me an email if you have any questions.
