AS A WEB DEVELOPER for corporate America for years, I made it a policy to keep my own Web site updated, streamlined and easier to use each time it went through a redesign. Since 1995, I have had a number of designs for my painting gallery. Just last September, I stepped-out and created a Flash animated site.

I have received more negative feedback for that site and more praise for my previous design. So...I have revamped and restyled my site of early 05 to bring back the warmth visitors said they experienced. Flash is a great tool, but for art galleries it can be a bit too "techie" if not handled carefully. Plus, there are still some who are not used to Flash technology. I am forward thinking, nevertheless, when it comes to users like yourself, ease of use rules.

I am marketing paintings, and as an artist I am sensitive to those who want to enjoy my work rather than present technical bells & whistles. With that in mind, I hope you'll come over to my new site and browse around. Particularly the gallery areas. I have made the paintings larger and hopefully the navigation even more intuitive. Let me know what you think!

Meanwhile, I continue to paint and will be featuring more new pieces here soon. The new site also contains and can handle many more works which I'll be adding to on a regular basis.

Enjoy...and thanks in advance for your visit!
