Stylish and Cool Art

You have just entered the Pixie-Atelier, my tiny corner of the world where I paint the beauty that I am fortunate to see. I am writing here so that you can see some of my art. If you click through on the links provided, you will be able to look at other artworks that I have created. I am excited to be showing you my works.

Like my writing, I have been painting since before the turn of the century. I absolutely love to create and painting is a form of art that fits quite nicely into my pixie space, hence, the Pixie-Atelier. While scribbling is how I have traditionally earned a wage, I am venturing forward with my artwork. My hope is to develop my artwork to a place where I am publishing coffee-table books for people to enjoy for days on end; books that can be passed on to loved ones as part of a legacy. ;) Those are my hopes.

So, please enjoy yourself while perusing through my work and follow the links to learn about how my work has been judged. I have a combination of paintings and photography on this site, most of it inspired by travel.

I love to hang my paintings with the most beautiful frames I can find. I really believe that the frame can increase the value and beauty of the presentation of an image.

I have chosen intaglio as the design concept for these frames because this design involves engraving, carving, or cutting into the surface of an item which results in a more elaborate frame.

I love to paint. I have recently ventured into more abstract works. I have an interest in creating artwork for show homes but am only a hobby artist, at this point.

I am inspired by the beauty I discover while exploring the world. Every time I travel I am surprised by the incredible natural beauty that exists in the most unexpected places. Deep in the forests of Kaua'i I have found incredible orchids. In the streets of Silver City, New Mexico I have discovered plants eking out their existence between slabs of sidewalk cement. In Tiwi, Kenya, I have seen millipedes by the hundreds as they coated the warm walkways as the sun was setting. Oh yes - there is beauty everywhere and my challenge is to find ways to present this beauty to you through art.

I would really, really love to read your thoughts about my work. Please take a moment and scribble me a few of your thoughts on the pieces you have seen here. Thank you SO MUCH!
