I painted a little in high school, but was mainly interested in drawing and sculpting. After a disastrous car accident that derailed my Theatre career, I decided to draw and paint to help in my recuperation. The painting took a while to get going as I cast about for a style and subject matter. Abstracts had interested me the most in high school, so I tried that and then I remembered a common theme from both my Celtic and Native American cultures. I started painting mystical skulls and then doing skull and crossed bones Pirate Flags, some even based on Shakespeare’s plays, and displayed them at Renaissance Festivals, Comic Conventions and Galleries.

The Mystic Skulls call to mind the different cultures and legends of skulls of power. Some are adorned with magical symbols and esoteric clues to hidden messages, some are meant to lead the viewer inward to explore the subconscious mind, and some are inclined to alarm and alert the sleeping mind.

For the next week, I will be releasing a Mystic Skull painting available for purchase on my etsy page. I also accept commissions for Mystic Skull paintings. Feel free to contact me through my etsy page.
