Sunthing Special
Bear with me as I update my Website ...
My items are now in select brick-and-mortar stores

I'm one of 60+ local vendors at Northside Marketplace, just north of Downtown Akron! It's SUCH a cool place -- more than 60 local vendors plus food, booze and more! Hours are Tuesday-Saturday 11-7, Sunday 11-3 and closed Monday. It's right in the middle of an artsy district (and a stone's throw from the famous Luigi's pizza!). Merchandise is always changing, so stop by anytime you're in the area!
Rubber City Clothing is the go-to spot for Akron items
I'm thrilled to announce my partnership with Rubber City Clothing, 17 Westgate Circle in the Wallhaven area of West Akron. Look for my Akron postcards, magnets and keychains as well as art postcards and notecards (with more items on the way). Check out all their incredible Akron merch as well! Co-owners Kevin and Ang are great people and big Akron supporters. Hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 10-3.


Commercially printed high quality art postcards made from my paintings and photographs. Flowers, skies, suns, dogs, cats and more!
What else should you know about me?
- I'm a pretty much self-taught artist who works out of my home in Akron, Ohio
- I am best known for my acrylic paintings on canvas, photography, works with recycled objects and works that promote the City of Akron.
- I also use other media like markers, watercolors, color pencils, pastels, clay, etc.
- I am known for my "happy" art
- One of my small claims to fame is having six of my sun images on "CBS Sunday Morning" a total of at least 12 times! Click "Publicity" on the right to see actual clips from the shows.
- The first image below is the most popular: "Night and Day 2002".
- Another piece was used as "wallpaper".
- They also used "Night and Day 2002" in a graphic which opened a segment on how suns are chosen for the show, and "Sun Swirl 2014" is on the show's slide show of just 37 of the 9,000+ suns shown over the show's 40-year history.
Let's get personal
In the past, I created a lot of bright and fun art. But in the past few years, my work has gotten much more personal. I have been using a variety of media to help express some of my feelings with what's going on in the world, as well as what's going on in my head as I deal with having Bipolar Disorder 2, anxiety and PTSD (I get counseliing and take meds but every day is still a struggle). Here are some samples. For more, click on the "Daily Drawings" tab on the right.
"My Heroes"
"I Stand with Ukraine"
"The Face of Evil"
"It's Putin's War"
"Chained"
"Days Without Sadness"
"Bipolar Talkativeness"
"(Hypo)manic Spinning"
