Sold at Auction!

My image, Armchair Musing, re3cently sold at the Armory Art Center's Take Home a Nude juried exhibit and fund raising auction. I hope it is enjoyed by it's new owners.

I originally had four images accepted to the exhibit. This was reduced to two as they found it necessary due to the physical size of some of the paintings and other artwork.

The image below, Lounging Muse, was also presented. It is available for purchase to local collectors.


Several things that separate my art work from some others is that I produce all of the prints myself to archival standards.
I choose paper types that are appropriate for each image. Sometimes wasting several sheets until I am satisfied.
Prints are made using archival ink jet printers that I personally own or that I can arrange to operate myself.
Frames and matting materials are chosen and I mount each image myself.

These particular images were printed on Canson Infinity Baryta paper, a non-UV brightener with a surface similar to traditional darkroom papers. They were printed on our Epson R2400 inkjet printer. The prints are then inspected under chromatically correct light sources.

The non-UV brightener is critical for long life of the image. UV light and UV brighteners are causes of image fade. Plus if the image is mounted behind UV protective glass the UV brighteners can't work and renders the image duller than intended.
