All the portraits here were done using colored pencils or pen & ink with soft pastels. I prefer Venus Paradise Photo Brown #10 but they don't make them anymore so now I use mostly Prismacolor colored pencils, soft pastels and ink. For the artwork on this site I used photos from newspapers or magazines. Some of my work is very old, Susan Hayward for example was done in 1957 for my mother when I was thirteen. She had cancer and wanted a picture of Susan Hayward and Robert Mitchum her two favorite movie stars. She died when she was only thirty two so this drawing is very special to me. The rest of my work was done prior to 1998 when I stopped doing all my artwork to fight my own battle with cancer. I have just started back to work on my portrait artwork and sculpting from polymer clay. I will be adding some new photos soon as well as some of my sculptures. I hope you enjoy my work and come back soon. For any information on any of my work you can email me.
