I am an intimist, still life painter and have devoted myself to painting fruits and flowers, often an single fruit. My painting stems from Zen philosophy and Medieval art, which is why I have found that 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th century frames are the most sympathetic to some of my work. I decided to experiment making medieval frames as fairly authentic reproductions. To me, the frame is the ultimate presentation, the reward for painting the picture. I get an enormous amount of enjoyment out of making them.
