"BACK ROOM" GALLERY
An exclusive online exhibition, changed periodically, of unusual groupings of works and/or works ordinarily not seen outside my studio



Currently: Commissioned Work
While commissions are not the main thrust of my studio practice, I have occasionally accepted them for making artworks specifically for an event or a private or corporate collector. Here are a few examples. With a few exceptions, most have never been exhibited in public.
