ESTIMONIAL

   works           of       rt

Modern illumination works of art
in writing, ornamentation, and pictorial imagery
with pen and brush. I study the mission of the organization
of each client as well as learn some
of the biography of the person being honored,
after which, I create original art that expresses both my client's purpose
and the honorable achievements of a unique human being.
