About
A Cincinnati native, I graduated from the Art Academy in 1990. In 1993 I opened Olmes Gallery in Newtown (Anderson) Ohio. The gallery was in operation offering custom framing and exhibiting my work until 2018. I now work as a full time artist selling at various venues and traveling the country with my art.
As an artist, I have explored many mediums, including oils, acrylics, pastels, mixed media and paper collage.
