"IT'S NOT OUR CREDENTIALS BUT OUR COMMITMENT TO A HIGHER PURPOSE THAT CREATES OUR
EFFECTIVENESS IN THE WORLD."

In a world where so many people who "Don't  have a clue as to what they want to do with their lives", I
have had the fortune to know  from an early  age what would consume me with a passion. I started drawing
at the age of four  (cartoons, of course). I have a 1/2 year of formal education in art (high school). I
enrolled in the school of hard knocks, "Self Taught Artists". I felt it to be important that I find my own way.

My journey as an artist is on going - I have made it my purpose. So much so, my art and the process to
create it really does define who I am. My goal is to continue to strive for the creation of spirit and quality in
my pieces.    

I love painting wildlife. There is nothing phony about nature. If you really pay attention it speaks to you
without saying a word. I try to capture the spirit of nature in my work. Simple yet complex.

I like to think that my work can be self-explanatory on whatever level the viewer may perceive it. I feel
that art can have multiple interpretations and focal points to be impact art. This is what I strive for in my
work. I hope that each piece I create stirs up some kind of emotion in the viewer. Many times I have
painted pieces that I feel were painted for a particular person, I just never know who that person may be
until I meet them.

I thank you for viewing my work. My hope is, at the very least, my work will provoke thought. The ultimate
goal is to stir ones' spirit.
