I was born in 1965 and have lived in the Metro of Atlanta all of my life. I've painted for the better part of my life and I honestly cannot imagine life without creating. The peace of mind that comes from losing myself in the process is both enlivening and meditative.
I have not participated in any formal art education or instruction. Instead, I have learned art by observing the art of others, enjoying the art in life and by the simple need to create. I am rarely the master of my own painting - rather the painting itself leads the way. I've worked with a wide range of mediums and have found that although watercolors can be far less forgiving to work with, I tend to prefer the results.
Original paintings are typically by commission via word of mouth. I always begin with a pencil or watercolor drawing of the original photograph. I typically take several pictures of work in progress. I use these photos to study the work and communicate with the customer. This progression can be quite interesting its own right.
I'm happy to sign your purchase - please contact me prior to ordering to have print shipped to me and then forwarded on to you.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my work. I'd love to hear from you - which piece you favor to the others, if you have a strong distaste for any particular piece or any other comments and/or inquiries.
I am available for commissioned acrylic or watercolor paintings. Using one of your own photos, you can have a personal work of art created - for you to enjoy or to gift to someone in your life. Whether you choose to use my services, or go through another reputable artist, I sincerely encourage you have the work done.
