Primarily a self taught painter, I first encountered the exceptional power of art to enlighten, challenge, and touch the soul during visits in my youth to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and The Art Institute of Chicago. I have the opportunity to study and learn from the masters whose work hangs in many museums throughout the world including the Louvre, the Prado, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The National Galleries in London. I have sought out instruction from various contemporary artists and I am now in an apprenticeship with Casey Childs.
My art is about creating a glimpse of the beauty and joy to be found in life, no matter the situation. Happiness and triumph, sadness and pain all have a unique roll in the eloquence that is each person's life.
