You love the classic lines, the superior design, and the progressive thought behind modernism. If you are like me, your heart jumps when the new issues of Atomic Ranch, Dwell, and Modernism magazines arrive in your mailbox. You read through each issue, devouring every word with joy. You study the designers, the photographers, the art glass, the theories, you notice what is behind each idea and contemplate these things. I'm glad you are here!

The Concept
I created this site, Mid Century Modern Art because, as an artist, I recognized the need for a new line of modern art, inspired by the Mid Century Modern style, that took the best elements and ran with them. I had been creating unique abstract art for many years and decided to offer them to the public.

The Work Behind It
I work very hard to bring you the finest high quality giclee reproductions of mid-century inspired modern art. Each piece of my original art is personally inspected and signed/numbered by me. You are assured only the finest modern art prints for your home.

My Background
I'm originally from northern Indiana and moved west to California in 1990. I lived in San Francisco (Haight Ashbury and the Mission), and then Marin County. Then I spent 3 years in the Arizona desert and just recently moved to Southern California, specifically Los Angeles. In addition to modern art prints, I create modern hanging art mobiles and collect vintage Blenko art glass.
