I am an American artist.  My work is primarily oil paint.  Currently I reside in Memphis TN.  I am a self taught artist.  I enjoy painting colorful custom portraits from your photos.  I like to compose my portraits very close so it shows off everyone’s personality.  Colorful and bold brushstrokes make it modern, fresh, and fun.  I include a time lapse video of your personal commissioned portrait.  My materials are of the highest quality and eco friendly.  These works of art will last 100′s of years+.  Because I have a day job I can offer my work at a very reasonable price.  See the 6×6 mini portraits page for more details.

The online galleries are of the artwork that I’ve done that I remembered to take a picture of.  Feel free to browse the galleries of previous work.

Currently I am offering classes open to all at Jungle Jims and Dorothy Lane Markets
