My studio is in the Texas town of Midlothian a suburb of Dallas. Peaceful surroundings, for me, are superior to a fast paced life in a large city.

My paintings are interpretive in subject, style, and message. I enjoy painting historic events or people, social commentary, and paintings with truth and meaning. Many of my paintings are in series to discover and develop stories within the same theme. I learned to paint starting with airbrush commissioned murals for my on-the-job training many years ago. Early on I wanted to paint smoother more photo real in appearance. Now my airbrushing is more painterly with more energy expressed within each piece. You are welcome to see my prints and original paintings in my Gallery selection.

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.

Inspiration

I enjoy the act of interpreting social, historic, and truth with meaning. My designs in paintings, exhibits, galleries, and museums are wonderful opportunities where my joy and fulfillment provide the "juice".

Techniques

Once my design is drawn on the canvas the first color filling in the overall first colors is what I refer to as blocking-in. The fun for me begins when I start painting in the details airbrushing an eighth to a quarter inch from the canvas. With one color at a time, cleaning out the airbrush, adding the next color, is the painting process.

Career Highlights

Painting murals, skyscapes, and interpretive paintings from mid 70's to present. I worked with a design build company for fifteen years where I learned museum exhibit design. Now in my own business I enjoy painting as well as museum exhibit design. The "Hunter Gatherers of the Blackland Prairie" is my favorite museum.

This photo is part of the "Hunter Gatherers of the Blackland Prairie" museum. I was blessed with the opportunity to design front to back and top to bottom; All exhibit design, painting murals, design all graphics, and project management. I teamed with archaeologist Dr. Don Wyckoff who has extensive knowledge of the people who first lived in what is now Texas. For me, design always follows the message, and Dr. Don provided those important messages.

This photo of my studio, facing north, out amongst the trees is where I paint now. I just walk out our back door and walk over for another adventure painting
