ABOUT ARTIST

I have been a full time self supporting independent professional artist for over 3 decades.I've been based out of NW Florida near the Emerald Coast area for 27 years after relocating here from the High Plains region. I studied art history and studio art at Black Hills University Spearfish SD. I am also a lifelong student of the school of daily painting.

I've written many an artist statement in my long career but recently having a tough time doing a current rewrite of it. I seem to have run out of words. I think I've read too many other artist statements and everything about everyone sounds the same. Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky, No, that's not it. I think looking at the art itself is the only part that's really important, and telling info about the painting process seems redundant.
Sometimes my paintings are inspired by something specific and I will gladly share it. Sometimes the artwork just happens and even I don't know where it came from. I encourage questions and happily share what I can, I'm an open book, ask me anything.
