Dream Reality Gallery

The building of an international art gallery where great unknown artist's from around the world will have a chance to display and sell their work!


This piece is called “Angel of Light” it was created by me with the idea that we all need a guide in this life, someone who can help us along our journey. The mountain scene on the cape of the angel was actually a peak of a mountain I drew while hiking in Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge near Lawton, OK.

Pen/Ink with colored pencil $350.00(USD)


This piece is called “Chaotic Reality” it was created by me with the idea that all around us is the crazy world we live in, and it is up to us to create peace within ourselves to create order in our chaotic world. I chose to pose my subject similar to the famous “Thinker” because it is through thought-power that we will change our world.

Oil paint - $3000.00 (USD)


This piece is called “Dancing Spirit” created by Tressa Zepeda. I think the name is very fitting for the design of this piece which I picked up in a little gallery in downtown Mckinney, TX. It struck me as piece that had boundless ideas all mixed into one painting leaving the viewer in constant wonder and stimulating the imagination.

Mixed media - $400.00 (USD)


This piece is called “Flicker Girl” created by me with the idea that sometimes the things we desire most only exist in our minds or in some unrealistic state such as movies or fiction books, but sometimes those desires can come to reality which is represented by the girl reaching out to touch the water below in order to try to affirm her reality.



This piece is called “Eroded” created by me with the idea of an unending solitude from which I did not think I would recover from in my younger years. I saw the subject as myself, alone and unhappy at the time. As I look back on it now it gives me strength to know that I persevered through that time in my life and now know that this state of mind is completely unnecessary.



This work is called “Frog Life” created by me it simply is what it is, a still life with frogs in it. The frogs have a significance for me in that I used to draw cartoon frogs named 'Ned and Ted' for my high school newspaper. I have always liked frogs and I just find them funny in the fact that their facial expression is always nonchalant. You can't ever tell how frogs feel by their expressions, they don't have any. A frog could be really ticked off at you for picking it up, but you can't see that in it's eyes, you only know it when it pees all over your hand.

Oil Pastel - $450.00 (USD)


This piece is called “Frog Love” created by Louise Donahue who I think shares my love of frogs as she did a complete series similar to this dedicated to the ever morose amphibian species. I picked this up at Sunshine Arts Hawaii in Oahu. Despite its voyeur subject it is beautifully painted with exquisite detail. It will definitely spark a conversation or two.



This piece is called “Holly-Odyssey” created by me it was supposed to be a gift for a girl named Holly but when I realized I was not going to get the reaction I deserved I stopped painting it and left it unfinished. It still looks amazing and encompasses all that I saw in Holly and was a very innovative work using real objects such as the soccer ball and a gold hoop earring.

Oil paint – bidding starts at $50.00 (USD)


This piece is called “My Guardian” created by me it represents the amazing power that exists in the universe which protects us from harm and guides us through life. Below the Guardian are the Blood and Flames of the Damned and above is the Light and Power of Life Everlasting. This is currently in the process of being finished and is fast becoming my most favored work of art.



This work I named “Three Wise Ladies” was created by Amare Zerihn who is a local artist in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Africa where I picked this piece up at Habesha Gallery in downtown Addis Ababa. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Amare but I find his work amazing due to the mystery he provides in his subjects, my mind reels trying to imagine what these ladies are cautiously regarding.

Latex paint - $350.00 (USD)


This piece is called “The Mosque” created by Amare Zerihn from Addis Ababa. I picked up this painting along with three other beautiful paintings from the Habesha Gallery in downtown Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. This painting is filled with a wondrous mystery that draws you in and when you look hard enough you will find a few surprises.



This piece is called “Ingalese Tuarege Girl” photographed by Thomas Miller and printed in Silver Gel. I picked this photo print up online at Augen Gallery in Portland, OR. Mr. Miller's subject in this photo really drew me in through her eyes, which almost demand your attention. This photo was part of a series of portraits of women who live in Western African Sahara.

Silver Gel Photo - $850.00 (USD)


This piece is called “Pollock-esk” created by me with the idea of trying to emulate Jackson Pollock's famous painting he did for the Guggenheim. I think it was a small success, and definitely stretches toward it's goal of creating that look.



I call this one “Post Face”; created by me it is a still life I setup to convey the point that many people, or all people, have at least two or more faces that they use in different situations. It speaks to the adaptability of mankind to overcome adversity through innovation and creativity. One of my favorites of my own art.

Colored Pencil/Oil Pastel - $600.00 (USD)


This giclee is called “Praise Dancer” created by Debra Lyons with the idea that through dance the subject praises her Lord and Savior. At the time I picked this piece up, in Balboa Park, San Diego, CA, I was a rather negative person and saw it as a sad depiction of a lonely girl who was to shy to share her dance with the world. Now a days I prefer Debra's original message. It is amazing how mood affects perception.

Giclee retouched and signed by artist - $415.00 (USD)


This a small piece called “Rainbow Man” created by me with the idea that we are many things in our life and we will cross many paths along the journey.



This is a small self portrait “of myself” in case anyone was wondering. I created it when I was much younger and heavily influenced by Pink Floyd; I saw myself as a mysterious person with many hidden personality traits that I later on brought to bare as a creative leader and a dynamic follower.

Latex paint - $150.00 (USD)


These are two separate pieces; the blue is called “Healing No. 3 © Michiko

Shimojo” and the red is called “Pray for Peace © Michiko Shimojo” both created by Michiko Shimojo of Tokyo, Japan where I picked these pieces up at her exhibition at Narita Airport. Michiko creates beautiful art using different hand signs of Buddhism. I was struck by the realistic detail she achieved in the hands; a skill which I hope to someday perfect in my own art.

Mixed media - $5350.00 (USD) for both pieces. $2675.00 (USD) individually.


This is an incredibly beautiful piece called “Ship at Anchor” created by Magdalina Hawajska who briefly worked at Sunshine Arts Hawaii on Oahu where I met her and bought this piece. A polish immigrant who studied art at a University in Holland, she has mastered the skills of the Renaissance artists with her varnish techniques shown here. She is an incredible talent destined for fame through her art.



Another incredible piece called “Still Life” created by Magdalina Hawajska of Poland. I picked this one up at Sunshine Arts Hawaii on Oahu. Her ability to span different genres in painting; shown here by her impressionist styled still life is equally matched by her ability to sing. I had the great privilege of hearing her new album she is creating which should be released soon.



This mesmerizing piece is called “Time, Space, Spirit” created by Jeannie Petyarre of Boundary Bore Outstation near Darwin, AUS in the Northern Territory; I picked up this piece at Indigenous Creations Gallery in Darwin. Her paintings are derived from bush tucker stories about the yams that grow year after year to feed the people of the Animatyere Tribe. Born from a family of Utopia Women painters the Petyarre's have been featured in multiple Australian National Galleries.

Waterbased paint - $2000.00 (USD)


This piece is called “Best Friends” created by my good friend Tim Nguyen. I picked up this piece at Sunshine Arts Hawaii on Oahu where I met Tim through a friend at the gallery. Tim's amazing ability to blend the essence of Hawaii living with masterful brush strokes is what earned him his place among the eagerly sought out artists of Hawaii. Tim's work is collected world wide, and his paintings now sell for top dollar at Higgins Harte Gallery in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii.

Oil paint - $16,000.00 (USD)


This piece is called “Blue Eyes” created by Tim Nguyen. This was the first piece of Tim's that I picked up at Sunshine Art's Gallery in Oahu, Hawaii. I was immediately struck by Tim's ability to display a wide range of emotion in such a simple manner. Tim's painting's are far from simple though, they are deep wells of mixed vibrant color, that intensely draw you closer.



This piece is called “Mango Girl” created by Tim Nguyen. This was the second purchase of Tim's work I made at Sunshine Art's Gallery in Oahu, Hawaii. I was overwhelmed by Tim's simple subject matter coming to life so brilliantly with his masterful use of color to create mixed emotion. It is easy to see why he has reached a world wide audience.



This piece is called “Solitude” created by Tim Nguyen it really emulates the title it was given. You get a true sense of how massive the world is and how small we are within the universe. After many hours of studying this work I found that Tim had created a ray of light almost invisible at first glance, that radiates down upon the lonely soul. Evidence that even in our darkest hour we are never really alone.



This work is called “What's Left?” created by me with a heavy emphasis on the fact that I am left handed. In fact I am so left handed that when I was finished drawing it and had not realized that I had only drawn the left side of the subject. Only after I was finished did I give this piece it's title, it was never drawn with the intent of calling it so.
