Artist Statement:
As a self-taught artist, I
draw deeply in my work from
the wellspring of the rich
cultural heritage of my home
in US deep south, including my
own family history.
Holding a degree in Interior
Design, I have always been
interested in art and have
always loved to make things,
even as a child. In 1990, I
saw a primitive style painting
that I liked, and decided to
give it a try. What resulted
was my own "naïve" style that
has been collected by people
from all corners of the world,
including the United States,
Canada, Europe, Australia and
as far as China. I love to
tell a story in my paintings,
and many times they are based
on a real place with real
people...and sometimes, they
are just something from my
imagination, whimsical and
fun. The message is always
one of a positive flavor, even
if the subject matter is not.
I love to portray hope and
inspiration to the world.
My art concentrates mostly on
scenes from the
past...American Primitive
Portraits, Biblical Verses,
and scenes from the Old South.
Some of my new projects
include an "Amish Life" Series
and a "Lost Farms" Series.
