There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about my art. I hope you enjoy my site and take a moment to drop me a line.
Most of my work is based up the San Francisco LGBTQ Pride Parade over a number of years. While no parade was held in 2020 due to COVID, I have 1000s of photographs from past parades that I use to find painting subjects. I try to capture the fun, joy, frustration and sadness in the parade goers. I hope you enjoy some of my sample artwork from this collection.
Martin is one of Art Saves Lives Models. I have done many paintings of Martin over the past year. He is a true muse to my work.
This series is based on the Castro Neighborhood and the fascinating LGBTQ people that make this neighborhood so unique.

In the 1990s a Castro Gym held and annual Ball to raise funds for local AIDS organizations. You had to come in drag. This series is from photos given to me by traditional leather men that did drag once a year and went to the ball. Like Cinderella.
