Custom Collection for Kerry! Here is a custom collection of my original nature silk screen prints that I made special for Kerry. I offer all of my prints to be customized to fit perfectly in my buyers rooms or offices and here is one that was made to fit perfectly in Kerry's space! I really like how it came out and the colors go great together. I can't wait until she hangs them up in her room.

I just finished this painting today and wanted to get it uploaded so I could get some advice on it. It is my newest attempt at creating a modern style of artwork. This painting puts a twist on still life, abstract and digital illusion. This piece is acrylic paint on a 18x18 studio wrapped canvas with 3/4" wide sides that the painting carries over to.
