"Star Attractions" was drawn on my 2.5"x3.5" cellphone screen with my fingertip. The attractions include this whimsical mural in front of the Kansas City Star building, and Two LIght in the background. I like the challenge of using the pad of my finger instead of a stylus on my tiny screen.

"Kansas City Live" was drawn on my 2.5" x3.5" cellphone screen with my fingertip while I was enjoying the Big Xll festivities at Power & Light. I like the challenge of using my fingertip to see where the color will land on my tiny cellphone using my memo app.

Painted " en plein air" (on location) this work was completed in a single session on The Country Club Plaza. Both warm and cool colors lead the viewer's eye throughout the canvas to a single, solitary figure. The use of oil paint and varnish add a luminous glow to the overall canvas - capturing the moment in time and the warmth of that particular summer afternoon.

This KC inspired collage utilizes the very popular “KC Heart” theme as the central focal point of the piece with familiar local KC icons framing, and visually telling the story, of a virtual trip through KC. Medium: Acrylic Giclee

Kansas City has many icons - from the Kauffman Center downtown to the Liberty Memorial and Union Station in the Crossroads all the way out south to the Nelson's Shuttle Cock sculptures and Plaza shopping district in mid-town. This piece visually captures a few of these iconic KC places and mixes them together into a unique visual story that is a perfect piece of KC artwork for your wall. Medium: Acrylic Giclee

The West Bottoms area in Kansas City is one of my favorite areas to capture ‘Alley activity’. I especially like the connection on these buildings. I like the show my Notans, revealing the planning.

I am attracted to the theme of “connections” in our city. This watercolor was so much fun. It’s painted on an aluminum panel and sealed with UV protection varnish. Framing without mat or glass gives a watercolor a great presentation.

This piece was created after a great family visit to the KC River Market. It was created on a texture treated art board blocked in with acrylic paint, then embellished with detail using pure pigment pastels.

One of my favorite places to photograph is the Country Club Plaza. What better representation of the Plaza is the JC Nichols Fountain! This night we were blessed with a beautiful full moon. There was a bit of post-processing done on this image. Photograph is printed on archival paper with archival inks.

Iconic Union Station bathed in the Golden Hour light. This building is like most areas in Kansas City in that it can look different any time of the day or night. But I prefer this time of day; it's magic! Very little post processing done on this photo. Photograph is printed on archival paper with archival inks.

Union Station is one of my favorite places to photograph. They did a wonderful job of creating the Bloch fountain for maximum reflecting effects. Photograph is printed on archival paper with archival inks.
