I love sports, but I love no sport more than baseball. It is a sport that is engrained in my soul. There is no other sport that captures the imagination, has beauty and elegance in every play and that can foster a relationship between generations quite like baseball can.I believe there is nothing more beautiful and poetic than to watch a nine inning game of baseball played in the summer sun. The smell of the grass, the crack of the bat, the scent of cowhide and the leather of the ball, the banter of fans chirping their opinions or disdain for the ump and opposing team, the perfect lines and the internal diamond shape are what make the game great. We can't forget the players who have come and gone; our childhood idols, who left us in awe as young children and who become our fantasy drafts as older gentlemen; Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Maris, Kaline, Robinson, Ott, Aaron, Mays, Wagner, Cobb, Ryan, Killebrew, McCovey, Feller, Haddix and my all-time favorite Reggie Jackson. 

My sports art has appeared in national sports magazines, a book on Willie Mays, in historic sports museums and traveling shows. I am also proud of the fact that my donated art and services as a designer have been used to raise money for local little leagues to create improved fields and make our local league stronger and a better place for the kids to play. Baseball gives one the sense of community, the ability to give back and can magically bring people together, friend or foe. 

The following pages are just a few of my creations related to the great game and then some other sports as well. Feel free to browse, inquire and enjoy a flashback to the past and possible peek into the future and reminisce about the grand ole game of baseball.

All of the art you see on this site is for sale. You can also commission artwork to be created. Please contact me to inquire on pricing.

Play Ball!
