Artist Statement:
"A self-taught artist for over
twenty-three years, I followed
my passion for realism through
the mediums of pencil,
charcoal, pastel, watercolor
and oils. Reading the eyes of
animals, for years, gave way
to telling stories of
travels-through the
portraiture of beautiful and
historical places visited. I
hope my art is a reminder of
your own story there, or,
encourages you to go make
one"…bj
There are different opinions,
as to where an artist's desire
is born. Some say, "a schooled
regimen (left-brain?)", and
others prefer...'a gift from
God', 'a natural talent', or,
'an over-active right side'.
Personally, I believe that
everyone is born with a
specific passion to help them
with a life that smiles. I
encourage "I hate my life"-ers
to believe in their's. Passion
has no respect for time.
Learning, practice, failures
and success all seem to take
simple moments. My passion is
art. Perhaps, because the
essence of art is sharing. I
invite you to come share in
mine and show me your own
passion!

Artist Reviews:
"My browsing the web led me to
your site. I love the way you
take inspiration from the many
beautiful places you've seen
in your travels. Your
paintings vividly capture the
spirit of these places and
make me yearn to once again
meander through the cobblesone
streets of Rome...
