Creating art is a personal journey;
but has little meaning unless shared with others.
In past years I've created a large number of digital art files by editing photos of my original acrylic and oil paintings.
If those art images stay with me alone, then they die with me. And no one will see or appreciate what I have created.
That would Cancel Out my life's labor. A sad thought which motivates me to create this website and focus on finding collectors.
Thank you for your participation.
For those who need references Owner of Gallery 422 in Butler, PA "Kevin Stroman" has collected many of my older paintings. Several of the original works I used to create digital art from... are currently in his gallery. find him at Facebook.com/gallery422
If you know what you like and like what you see; then you've found the direct source for artwork by me.
