I was born to create art.  I love to paint.  I love to use my imagination to create something whimsical, something fun, something full of joy that will bring a smile to your face.

Today's economy isn't necessarily kind to artists, since art is more of a luxury.  I offer my services and art that is fair and welcome you to hire me to create something of joy for you. 

Whether it be a small gift, a larger painting or some mural work in your home or office or on your work car/van,  I have over 30 years of experience and many many references who are happy to recommend me.   Feel free to google me and friend me on Facebook. 

Contact me today to discuss your art needs.  Treat yourself to some joy!

ALWAYS LAVA ONE ANOTHER!
