As a wise man once said, "We are spiritual beings having a human experience."
My human experience has greatly intertwined
with art. Before I reached the age of 2, my
parents knew by the scribbly crayon mural on
their bedroom was that I had a destiny. On my
twelfth Christmas Santa brought me my first
set of oils.The Yawning Lion (to the right)
was one of my first paintings.
Along with the versatile use of any medium of paint
enjoy expanding to a variety of surfaces. Canvases
and paper are great, but how about glass! or walls!
or clothes! or furniture! ...
I have a great passion to create, and allow the viewer to see, feel, and experience. I strive to capture the spirit and essence of my subject by use of color, texture, even the expression of the brush stroke. I have painted hundreds and hundreds of pieces. Today, my art can be found throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.
One of my favorite joys is teaching art. Out of
necessity I began teaching art from my home.
I was quickly hooked on the gratitude I felt to be
able to help someone to express themselves on a
different dimension. It is always amazing to watch
the art begin to flow from inside, down the arm
and to the surface. I have had the blessed
opportunity to teach thousands of students!
Last of all, I am a master artist, a gift the ages of time given to someone who makes art their livelihood.
