Elements of Earth Art  presents a new dimension and simplicity that will transform the way you see reality. Simple brush strokes are used to tell a story that is intended to inspire, encourage and enrapture the viewer in thought and conversation. Each piece uses a simple egg paint that I thoughtfully mix by hand. I use colors which are mixed in water and egg to give the art a life of its own. In addition the gold and silver leaf is used to capture the light and imagination of the observer. Most of my paintings will be found on wood, a practice used by traditional folk artists.

I have spent countless hours in museums and galleries throughout the United States and the world studying the fine points of iconography and art from the ancient past and present. My style has become a culmination of my studies, personal experiences and continuous quest for knowledge and is rooted with the deepest spiritual meaning. I am a man who welcomes every day and expects nothing from it. My passion is living, and I translate this through Elements of Earth Art.
