Original Paintings

Welcome to my original paintings. I’m an award-winning California artist whose work is held in museum and institutional collections across the United States.

Each painting is a one-of-a-kind original, hand signed by me and shipped from my studio at the Arts Center in Spanish Village, Balboa Park, San Diego. These are original paintings, not prints.

My originals span Flower Bear portraits, the Sailor Portrait Series, Beefcake paintings, and figurative works that celebrate LGBTQ+ life, masculinity, and the human form. I paint in impressionist, pop-inflected surrealist, and playful naïve styles. Each painting tells its own story.

AFTER DRYING, Most orders ship within five business days, and all originals ship free within the USA. I accept custom commissions. Contact my studio to inquire.
