I am originally from Chicago but I have been refining my love of sweet tea and BBQ in the South for the last several years. My goal as an artist is to create realistic interpretations of my subjects in a semi-impressionistic manner. My interests include web design/development, red wine from Spain, hiking to waterfalls and black and white movies starring Cary Grant. I am also the web designer for the Pastel Society of North Carolina.

PSNC Photo Depot

All of us have trouble finding good reference photos from time to time, so we have decided to build a repository of copyright-free images donated by our members. Anyone who wishes to participate may bring as many 5x7 or 8x10 color prints of any photo they wish to release permission to use to our monthly meetings. There will be no cost to use the photos and therefore no compensation to the photographer. By sharing in this way, we can all become better artists. We hope you'll contribute to this resource!
