    Standard sizes and prices are 5"x7" for $200; 8"x10" for $400; and 11"x14" for
    $600.  After I photograph the view you want, it takes about three weeks to
    complete a commissioned work. Each painting is matted generously to a
    standard frame size.  
    If you want your painting put in a simple frame, the cost is $30 to $40 extra,
    depending on size.

ABOUT ME:  My artwork has been commissioned by the National Building
Museum, Stephen Decatur House, DAR Museum, U.S. Forest Service Visitor's
Center, The Nature Conservancy, Blair House Restoration Fund, D.C. Convention
Center Authority, Downtown Business Improvement District and many others.

Since 2005, I've worked with Howard University archaeologists to identify and
protect two unmarked, 19th Century African American and Quaker cemeteries in
Walter C. Pierce Community Park in Adams Morgan.

I studied photography at the Corcoran School of Art and received a journalism
degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder.  As a reporter for the
Washington Times, I covered the White House, Capitol Hill and Justice  
Department.   Before turning to art full-time, I was the spokesperson for
Iran-contra Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh and editor of his final report.
