Hi Dina -- I've been doing book cover illustration for a while. I started by going to NY and knocking on doors, showing my portfolio. I've had a couple illustration reps in the past, but I mostly do it myself.
Thanks Dina. I'm glad you like my paintings! You're right, I should put some of them on my page here. I wasn't sure how many different kinds of images I should have here. Sometimes people get confused about what I do when I show more…
Thanks Luis I really like your work too. I love drawing famous people too. But I'm too scared of copy write laws to do any lately. Do you have a trick for getting past copy write laws?
Dina
I looked at your art. It is great. Although I have done other media I am just beginning to learn oil painting and have never tried to sell anything. I would like to start though. You have sold a lot. Do you have any advice for me? How do you sell?…
I have loved creating art ever since I was a child. I remember winning an art competition when I was five. I have participated in numerous art classes throughout high school and college, where I was an Art and Design major, and on through my adult life. I had to put my art aside when my children were young and felt rejuvenated when ever I could steel away to create something without interruption. Now that my kids are older I am really enjoying the thrill of immersing myself in creativity.
Art Forms And Cultures I Would Like To Engage With
My dream collaboration would be to create a school or organization where people of all ages could come and learn from other artists and spend time in creative art projects surrounded by and encouraged by other artists.
My Creative Influences & Favorite Artists
I am inspired by so many artists. A few that I admire are James Christensen, Arther Rackman, Gustav Klimt, John Waterhouse and Alphonse Mucha.

I combine a lot of styles in my book cover work here: http://DreamPool.com
