| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I've liked to draw and paint as long as I can remember.....it's not something I chose to do.....it's something that if I don't do, I couldn't be totally happy....or at peace with myself |

| Your Personal Biography |
Being an artist / Illustrator for over 30 years, I enjoy a variety of subjects as you will see as you tour my on-line gallery. My main goal is to give the person viewing my work a feeling as if they are able to walk into the picture. Realism is the style I’m after but sometimes I achieve a surreal effect such as the case with my series of children’s prints. Once again thanks, and hope you enjoy my on-line gallery. |
