"Kindness is like snow - It beautifies everything it covers." - Kahlil Gibran
"The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand."~Vince Lombardi
When buying from an artist, you’re buying more than just a painting. You are buying hundreds of hours of failures and experimentation. You are buying days, weeks and months of frustration as well as moments of pure joy. You are buying a piece of an artist’s heart, soul, and a moment in their life. Most importantly, you’re buying the artist more time to do something they are passionate about.

Definition of Scratchboard Art:
(per International Society of Scratchboard Artists)
The scratchboard technique is a two-dimensional subtractive process. It involves the use of abrasive tools to directly remove a surface layer of one value (typically dark) to expose a second layer (typically white). The values within the artwork are predominantly achieved by varying the amount of surface layer that has been scratched away or left. The texture and form of all key compositional elements within the artwork must be created by subtractive removal, not exclusively by the addition of paint or ink. Reapplying transparent mediums over the scratching is permissible, but the underlying scratches must remain visible. Works may be color or black and white.
