Artists Statement
I have been drawing and painting all of my life.
I find the times when I am in my studio, the
most relaxing and enjoyable times of my day. In
2002, I decided to focus my efforts on my Art
to try to develop a second career to keep me busy
when I retire from teaching.
When I began I mostly painted pictures that I would
find in magazines or in books. However today, I like
to paint the world around me. I especially enjoy
painting the people I meet and see in everyday
life. Thus my family and friends are my primary
source of models.
Please enjoy the gallery and feel free to contact
me to purchase my artwork, commission me to paint
your loved ones, or to just say you enjoy the work.
