...don't forget a painting is an investment too!

    Obviously I hope that you enjoy viewing my paintings as much as I enjoy creating them. But also, I hope you consider a piece as another type of investment. Why? Because I truly believe that my prospective body of work has the ability to appreciate in worth over time because of my goal.

    Diversification doesn't just have to mean spreading your money amongst various stocks & bonds. Think of it this way: while a good stock can appreciate 10-20% over 2-3 decades of investment; a painting can be worth considerably more in the same amount of time AND without risk of depreciation!

"I am embarking on a lifetime goal to become the first painter to ever paint at least one scene of every major U.S. and World city." ...and maybe even become known as the most prolific cityscape painter ever.


Why is my plan unique?


Of those who paint; only a fraction chose to paint scenes of cities. Those who do paint urban scenes, only paint just a few locales in their lifetime.

The end result? No one has ever visited and painted every major city of the world!

*All paintings are based on views I personally select and capture. None are created from others works, based on popular photos, postcards, etc. They are all truly original!
