I am a professional fine artist specializing in acrylic, watercolor and digital media in Denver, Colorado. I make a living off of my skills as an artist and as a graphic designer in advertising, and I sell my paintings and prints regularly at showings in local galleries and my online store.
I have been drawing and illustrating my whole life, and my work ranges from technically proficient photo-realistic renderings to colorful and dramatic abstract works inspired by experimentations in form, shape, pattern and tone.
A lot of people who comment on my work say that they are impressed by the level of detail that I add, and they usually admire my use of color. My abstract artwork is often compared to graffiti art in style, and people find that it reminds them of things like computer hardware circuits, aerial and satellite views of cities, and visualizations of microscopic realms.
My work has also been said to have a very fluid manner despite these rigid descriptions with viewers getting lost in the art, following the forms from one area to another. It shows visual motion, yet is also very geometric.
I list an hourly rate for custom painting and design or illustration work, but the cost of a finished piece can be negotiated separately as well. It is primarily based on the size of the work because that determines how much time it will take me to complete it. I work on contract for negotiated licensed uses (no work for hire).
I work on stretched canvas for acrylic paintings and hot press paper for watercolor paintings, and in the digital realm, I create artwork in Photoshop or Illustrator for printing on any printable media at many different sizes.
All material and printing costs are included. Shipping, if necessary, will be billed on final invoice.

Question and answer
Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A. My first advice for customers looking to hire someone like me is that I think it's important to see my work in person in order to appreciate what I do. So I would suggest meeting myself or other artists and viewing examples of their work in person, if possible. The nuances of paintings and high-res digital prints are NOT the same as seeing the art on a website.
I provide a highly skilled service that I have spent many years perfecting, so I advise potential clients to take the time to find out what you want from the artist you are looking to hire. Recent college grads and entry-level artists are a great value opportunity. They deserve work as much as professionals since they can provide many of the most basic services at equal levels of quality, though their experience dealing with customers and working with your feedback can be a source of road blocks. For basic work my services may be overkill, but if you're seeking an outstanding customer experience and a high quality work of art, I would be happy to work with you.
Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
A. The one thing I wish to impart to all customers of artwork is that great art takes time and is best approached as a collaboration, rather than a dictation. Patience is necessary from both sides so the artist can understand what the client wants, and so the client can guide the artistic process. Initial drafts can be loose and they work their way into finished art through progress checks and meetings to determine feedback. Great artwork isn't created overnight and the process of communication between artist and client is fundamental to the success of the artwork. Ask 15 people to describe the words "smooth" or "fresh" and you'll likely get 15 different answers. The communication process helps the artist and the client to approach the work from the same point of view.
Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. A client should ask to see an artist's previous work before selecting them to ensure they have completed similar work and at a desirable quality level.
They should ask to hear about an artist's previous accomplishments and achievements such as awards and accolades to know if they are respected among peers and experts.
A client should ask for an artist's job history to determine reliability and their commitment to their work.
Lastly, a client should at least speak with the artist over the phone or meet with them in person (if possible) to allow the client to ask the artist questions and do a basic form of interview.
