A New Way to Discover Original Art
Before an artwork becomes part of your permanent collection, experience how it transforms your environment.
The Experience the Collection Program allows you to spend time with selected original works from my private collection — in your home, office, or personal space — and discover the connection that develops when art becomes part of your daily surroundings.
Some artwork is immediately recognized. Other pieces reveal themselves slowly.

The Artist Behind the Collection
Every original work of art carries the story of the artist who created it.
For more than 55 years, I have explored the relationship between creativity, emotion, and visual storytelling. My collection represents decades of artistic exploration, from early influences to the evolution of my signature series.
Created in my private studio and gallery in Lake Norman, North Carolina, each piece is an original expression designed to bring personality, conversation, and meaning into the spaces where people live and work.
My goal has always been simple:
To create artwork that people do not just look at — but connect with. See over 350 works of art in the studio available for immediate placement.
The Collector Journey
Discover
The Collector Journey
Discover → Experience → Connect → Acquire
Experience
Bring selected artwork into your home, office, or business environment.
Experience how the artwork transforms your space through scale, color, texture, and emotion.
A piece of art often reveals its true impact when it becomes part of the environment it was created for.
Connect
Spend time with the artwork.
The relationship between collector and artwork grows over time. Many collectors discover that a piece becomes more meaningful as it becomes part of their daily surroundings.
The artwork becomes more than an object on the wall — it becomes part of your personal story.
Acquire
When the connection is complete, make the artwork permanently yours.
Your acquisition includes documentation of authenticity and the history of the original work, creating a lasting relationship between artist, artwork, and collector.
