Recent Commissions

As an 'emerging' artist, I have found the first key to success is establishing a loyal network of patrons. From small portraits to wedding drawings to samples of my own work, the best way to survive in both New York City and South Bend, IN without a representative gallery is to make work for other people. Below are some samples of recent commissions.
