PAINTINGS
The images on this page represent a sampling of acrylic and watercolor paintings. To view more artwork, please visit Fontenay Gallery on Devine Street in Columbia, South Carolina or call me for a location near you. Some of these paintings are in private collections and are already sold, however a few are available in print form. Please see my section on fine art prints and greeting cards for more information. I will be adding new gallerys locations soon. If you are a retailer, please call or email me for a catalog.
BATIK SILK SCARVES AND MEN’S NECKTIES
I use several methods to create my scarves, the first being Batik, the Javanese word meaning “good points or dots.” This refers to the tiny dots and Indonesian patterns on cloth. The second is Shibori which is the Japanese word used to describe embellishing textiles by shaping cloth and securing it prior to dying. Many of the scarves are handpainted or a combination of the above.
MONOTYPES
A Monotype is a single print created by painting on a non-absorbent surface, generally unique, though a second, lighter impression can sometimes be made, called a ghost print. Some of my original monotypes and the majority of my ghost prints have been altered with other media such as acrylic, dye, paint or oils. Monotypes are not the same as Monoprints, in which the artist is able to duplicate the same image over and over until the substrate is no longer usable as in an etching.

CARDS & PRINTS
I can produce giclee’s of most of the artwork you see on my site, however the images shown here are a few of my most popular ones. I have a few early original paintings which I am producing in larger print runs, however all artwork created from 2006 on will only be available in prints numbered 250 or fewer.
