“I attempt to capture a visual story of the moment, through the presentation of the emotion and expression of my thoughts and feelings.”

With my renderings of botanical, ancient historical monuments, landscapes, seascapes, animals, and nature, I attempt to capture a visual story of the moment, through the presentation of the emotion and expression of my thoughts and feelings with the various artistic mediums. I work in watercolor, acrylic, oil paint, and occasionally, pen and ink using what I call a tight, illustrative hand.

I referenced a royalty-free photo of this shaggy horse. The title popped into my head! Horses are very enjoyable to draw and paint. I need to do more.

This creative journey began during my youth. I have always been creative and a visual artist. But life and adulthood interrupted a promising potential professional career in art.

City Laundry Day

A city scene from the past. Gone are the days of hanging your laundry out to dry, with the water dripping on passersby below.

When we fast forward a few years to my family life, the fond memory of my sketching, doodling, and the occasional painting for my two daughters when they were very little, motivated their love and encouragement as beautiful young adults to urge me to pursue a professional art career.

As I age in what some call the retirement years of life, my art career is young and vibrate and my artwork is a visualization of a life lived.

As I age in what some call the retirement years of life, my art career is young and vibrate and my artwork is a visualization of a life lived. I think all the more so better for it. I have lived a stressful life, family separation, lack of employment, and near starvation at times.

My work is an expression of the adventure, and sometimes the torture, we humans must endure. I like to say my work is “warm and fuzzy.” However, living in this world is not always easy. With each piece of art, my life is on display, not always beautiful and direct.

My work is an expression of the adventure, and sometimes the torture, we humans must endure. I like to say my work is “warm and fuzzy.” But living in this world is not always easy. With each piece of art, my life is on display, not always beautiful and direct.

Today, my artwork has been exhibited across the United States and Europe in brick-and-mortar gallery shows and online exhibitions, and awarded excellence in art certificates.

However, I consider myself blessed for the love of my daughters requesting works of beauty. As a visual artist utilizing the various mediums and working in a representational style. My creations express this passion and enjoyment of nostalgic radio, history, and world travel. I am predominantly self-taught, the emphasis is not so much about rendering, but focused on the visualization of the emotion and feeling of the moment.
