	Intrepid explorers are welcome to make an appointment to visit my studio. Although it is an uncomfortable and crowded place, some find the experience quite awesome! The artistic process of transforming piles of junk to finished artwork is a rather remarkable thing to experience.
	For any information on my art and to place a retail or wholesale order, please contact me. You can also visit me at one of my upcoming art shows. Selected pieces of my art are available at fine galleries. For direct orders, all shipping and packaging is done at cost with no markups. I ship most works via UPS at regular shipping and insurance rates. Packaging cost is approximately $25 for custom box sets for art mirrors and wall art under 32” x 32". Small and odd shaped works can often be shipped in free recycled boxes while large oversized works may involve crating.
	Please note, all sizes and colors in this site are approximate. With the exception of occasional editions of a pattern, all works are one-of-a-kind. New work is created constantly. If you wish to be notified of my latest additions please send me your e-mail address. Most wall art and art mirrors are built on a base of 3/4" birch veneer plywood of fine quality. Old wood and objects are attached with glue. Most works are lightly cleaned, then most are either treated with an oil/mineral spirits finish, a matte varnish, or a wax. Frames are custom made to my design in pine. Works of the 32" x 32" size are about 20-30 lbs and just under 2” thick. With several choices of modern hangers, they are easy to affix to any wall. There are slight gaps between the frame and the body of the work at the corners allowing for expansion and contraction of the wood without damage to the frame. Glass is generally new 3/16” plate mirror, but I often use old glass with various signs of age and wear.
