Welcome to my new site: commissioned fine art, murals and tile work

If you have ever wanted a custom piece of fine art made around a specific person, place or memory, finding the artist who actually does that should not be the hard part. My new site is built to take you from “I want something made” to a conversation about your commission, with my custom murals, tile murals, bronze sculpture and paintings laid out clearly so you can see what is possible.

I’m proud to launch my new fine art website

I am proud to introduce my new website, built from the ground up to show my commissioned artwork the way it deserves to be seen, and to make it easier for the people looking for a mural artist or a custom art commission to find me. For more than twenty-five years I have been making pieces built around the person who asked for them. The work was never the problem. The problem was that the people searching for exactly this kind of art could not find it.

The site was designed and developed in partnership with The Final Code, a digital marketing and web development team that took this on as a real challenge. Before they built anything, they sat down and listened to me talk about my work, who commissions it and why. They studied a range of artist websites and found that a lot of them are built in ways that make it hard for artists to be found by the people looking for them. A site can look beautiful to a visitor and still give a search engine almost nothing to read. They built mine to fix that. Thank you to the whole team at The Final Code for taking the time to understand what I actually make.

Custom art commissions made for one person

Every piece I make starts with the person who commissions it. Sometimes that is a city or a building looking for a public art mural that reflects its character and the people connected to it. Those projects carry a lot of history, and the finished mural has to hold all of it. The Ventura Historic Mural, the lobby mural at Las Palmas and the building facades on Main Street all began that way.

Sometimes it is an individual who wants a custom painting, sculpture or tile piece for something personal. I talk with them about what matters to them and what they want the piece to hold, and that conversation shapes everything that follows. No two commissions come out the same, because no two people are the same.

And sometimes it is someone who has lost a pet or a person and wants custom memorial art to remember them by. Pet memorial art and personal memorial pieces are some of the most meaningful work I do, and they are treated with the care they deserve.

Bronze sculpture, tile murals and painted murals

Commissioned art is about more than picking a medium and filling a wall. It is about understanding the story behind the request and finding the right form to tell it. On the new site you can see the full range of my work and how much thought goes into each piece, whether it is a bronze sculpture, a hand-glazed tile mural or a painted mural.

My tile murals are a good example. In the Ventura Historic Mural, every face in it belongs to somebody. That is the kind of detail that makes custom artwork personal, and the new site gives each project room to show it: you can zoom into the tile, watch the films and read the stories behind the work.

Handmade fine art, not AI art

With AI-generated art everywhere now, it matters more than ever to know that what you are looking at was made by a real artist. Every mural, sculpture and painting I make is human-made, start to finish, and built from a real conversation with a real person. You can see how the tile work is made, by hand, on the process page.

That is baked into the new site. I can talk about every piece: what motivated the person who wanted it, and how that inspired me to make something tailor-made for them. The site is built to share those stories, so you can see the thinking behind the work and not just the finished result. The paintings each carry their story in my own words, and the about page tells mine.

Start your custom mural or art commission

Art is subjective, and everyone looks at it their own way. The site does not try to tell you what to feel about the work. It presents the art and the way I make it, and lets you decide if it speaks to you.

Nothing about how I work has changed. Every commission still starts with listening and ends with a piece made for one person. What has changed is how easy it is to find me and get started. Explore the new site, look through the bronze, tile and mural work, and reach out when you are ready to talk about your custom art commission.
