Beyond my ambition to learn what makes you a wonderfully unique individual, trains and railroading-in-action narrate my life's artistic passion. After years of exploring such an interest, digitally illustrating trains in my own style has become my true career. My series covers points along the former-B&O and Western Maryland Railways' rights-of-ways. I've sold prints to railfans as well as a nationally-known engineer, Ross Rowland Jr.

My latest rendition's silhouette appearance strays my traditional style, portraying itself like a photograph. By my opinion, the focal point is the coupler/air hose. I was inspired to pursue this image by a series of twilight photos I took while touring through Nebraska on a recent driving-vacation.
