deviously deviant. I've grown to love deviantART for the global community and the discussions about art. You guys rock my socks.

previously creative. I used to design graphics and tees around dA, under the direction of $TheRyanFord and $Heidi.

deviously statistical. I was born in November 1982, I'm divorced, and currently live near Philadelphia, PA. I graduated in 2005 with a BA; majoring in filmmaking with a focus in editing/cinematography and a minor in art history. Presently I am a commission artist. For my commissions, I work in almost any medium, but the majority are oil or digital paintings.

deviously zany. I love to spend my free time painting, singing around the house or in the shower, volunteering, riding motorcycles, going on walks and hikes, doing yoga, pilates and kickboxing, listening to music, and of course, chilling out here on deviantART.

deviously done. Everything I do, I try to do with a giggle and some fun.

deviously merchandising!
Support me and my art by buying my prints! Every print I sell goes towards donating deviant subscriptions, prints for me to sell in person (at shows, and right out of my studio), and art supplies like oil paint and canvas.

Commissions

Commission Status
Closed.
Current Commission Count: 2
I will not be taking any further commissions until 2013. I am finishing the current commissions and preparing for a spring show! If you really want a painting from me and are willing to wait, see below for more info about hiring me.


1. Mr. Forstall [ 6/10 complete ] 24" x 36" Acrylic on canvas of two bichon frise puppies in front of their beach house at sunset.

2. Mr. Goldberg [ 1/10 complete ] 16" x 20" Acrylic on canvas of his daughter, for her graduation gift.



Commission Status is Closed for a Reason
I will no longer be taking commissions except for specific times which I will open myself up for them. Check back here for more info or note me if you are desperate for a commission or have something that you really think I would be good at painting.

Don't ask me for pet portraits or for dark/horror images. I don't normally do those types of paintings very often and they take me too long because I don't really enjoy them. They're not my specialty, and while I have done them in the past - I no longer think it is a good idea.

DO ask me for portraiture, landscapes, fantasy and surreal paintings, whimsical children's illustrations, funny or comical things.... LOOK at my gallery before you ask me for a commission. See if what I make now fits the type of vision you have for a painting. If not, find an artist that does, there are plenty of us with our hands out. Thanks for this consideration.

Howling is part of who I am. I howl all night, every full moon, even in the day. It can be used for communication, to let out anger or stress(i would know), or just to howl for the fun of it. People think I\'m crazy, but who cares? I dare you all to howl.

For which piece? I use Photoshop CS3, Painter X for digital pieces, and Acrylic, oil, watercolor, encaustic wax, graphite, ink, and many more things for my traditional work.

Is Photoshop CS3 a good program? What about Photoshop CS6, would you know about that one?

You're absolutely welcome, and thank you. :) Once I get to putting some of my pieces up, I'd love to speedpaint with you, if at all possible. I sure need the practice, at any rate!
