He has carried his fascination with the unique and unusual into a wide range of multi-media artwork, including interior Accents and art deco styles, as well as design of remarkable hand-made-painted-frames that are unsurpassed for whimsy, innovation and theatrical flair.
He developed a strong grounding in draftsmanship, which allowed his figurative and architectural work to emanate a level of sincerity reached by combining his intimate understanding of his subject’s physical properties as well as its symbolism.
