The body of my work reflects a discovery of creative methods to illustrate a story or a simple idea with a phrase “art looking for a story”. I want to find the story within the idea of a piece. I believe the viewer’s story is also as important as mine.   In simple terms, I try to capture a moment of thought or feeling that reflects how I see or interpretate the idea but leave room for others to participate.   More relatable in common understanding and description vs creating abstract “word salad” to describe the idea behind the piece.  I like to explore various art techniques of expression using realism, minimalism, abstract art, and pop art for clarification but also the desire to see how my abilities can highlight the beauty of these art forms.    

I have been painting these works of art for over 50 years. I have studied and illustrated pieces in watercolor, oils, acrylics, and raw pigment under the guidance of talented master artists primarily in Texas, Louisiana, but also Canada and abroad.   

I have been blessed with a rich history of being invited and participating in art events, solo art exhibits, and regional/national festivals spanning over 40 years showcasing the quality and diversity of my work.
