This site contains a sample of my artwork from the time I was 18 until now. If you are interested in purchasing a piece, please contact me and I will let you know about pricing and availability. If you are looking for something in particular, a painting
from a favorite picture or with a specific color palette, a wall mural,
a portrait of your home, or any photography work, I would love to create something for you. Feel free to contact me at: jdoklan@gmail.com. I am constantly creating new pieces, so check this page for frequent updates.
I can't say that any particular medium is my favorite, however I generally stick to the same few: photography, oil paint, colored pencil, pastel, and charcoal.
Teaching art gives me a chance to work on my own pieces and creativity while assisting students with theirs. IMy students enjoy watching me work; it gives me more credibility as a teacher and artist in their eyes. They see my mistakes and watch me fix them without stressing. They learn that art takes time, patience, and practice. Most of all, they see that art is a process; they see my process and learn that they can, and will, eventually find theirs.
