Background
When I was a child I had one of those 110mm cameras and decided I would write and photograph the next great American bird field guide but I had a lot of trouble getting close enough to anything other than the dead birds the cat brought me so I gave up my book dreams but kept my love of art and photography. I took art classes through school to help develop my eye for balance, color and design, and I later attended Brooks College of Graphic Design. As a member of the Concord Art Association I won 2nd and a 3rd place in two different shows with my fine art paintings. I sign all my paintings "Blacky" as a memorial to my father. This was his nickname while he served in WWII. I love experimenting with all kinds of mediums and combining things to create unique pieces.

I have a diverse gallery set to enjoy. Abstract water photography images make wonderful pieces for interior design. Graffiti street art is an interesting compliment to urban loft living. Mixed media art with embedded glass shine like gems creating jewelry for your walls. My galleries can answer any artistic need from boudior to boutique. What's on your walls?
