Here is a sampling of human and animal portraits that I have done, in several mediums. My favorite medium is oil paint, but I also enjoy acrylic paint, pencil, and bronze sculpture.

Wildlife Illustration
I love all kinds of animals, and really enjoy creating wildlife illustrations of them.
This is a photogragh of me with a lion cub when I was studying big cats back in my college days in New Jersey. “Elvis Jr” was only 10 months old and already weighed 110 pounds.

Fantasy Art
Fantasy art is a very creative genre. I find it artistically challenging to use my imagination to create something completely new, yet executed it in a believable way. My fantasy art is greatly influenced by artists such as Maxfield Parrish, The Brothers Hildebrandt, and Boris Vallejo. Click on an image to view all of them in a gallery.
