I learned the basics of drawing from my father and I taught myself to work in many mediums before finding my “niche” which are colored pencils. I try to always use my own photos or use historic photos of the surrounding Kentucky towns and farms. I consider history an important part of our future as it presents another view of the past. I like to research my subjects and present them with some background as to where and when. I draw landscapes, cityscapes, cars, trucks, vans, flowers and even the occasional person. I have a wide variety of subjects for your viewing pleasure. I am a juried member of the Kentucky Crafted program and Colored Pencil Society of America. My work has appeared on magazine covers and in instructional books. The area I live in is rich in historical buildings and places giving me a wide variety of subjects from trains to dilapidated buildings. My art has gone international and I have original work now hanging in Australia. I am well along in my journey on this good earth, and I'm deeply grateful for everything that has come my way - the good and the bad. It is through strife and trouble that we grow as humans, the good things in life make it worthwhile. I have let go of expatiations and now embrace possibilities that come into my life.
