My belief is that true art causes people to think. It resonates. People discuss it long after viewing a painting or reading a book. Good or bad--if art causes a reaction--then the artist has done his or her job.

Some of my art is inspired from my writings as I am a published novelist, poet and short story writer. At times my visual art and writings appear together. My novel DESCENT was published by a publishing house called Delirium books in 2005. It was a limited run of 100 copies which quickly sold out. Each book has an original pen and ink drawing bound within. I painted the cover art for my novel SETTLING IN NAZARETH. And I did the art (cover and interiors) for my Bram Stoker nominated poetry book BURIAL PLOT IN SAGITTARIUS. Through the years my art and writing has appeared side by side;once in a gallery show at a local college as well in publications. I've written numerous short stories and poems which have seen publication.

I recently underwent a life altering experence which had a transformational effect on my work. I will be adding my new pieces here gradually. In addtion, I'm adding some older works as well as news about my writing projects.

My fiction is normally dark and speckled with supernatural elements. My novel MANHATTAN GRIMOIRE will be released shortly from DELIRIUM books In December 2008. In addtion, my novel FROM ASHES is completed. I'll post some great news about it shortly. Now I'm moving on to a new novel.
