READ ARTIST SPOTLIGHT INTERVIEW

I have studied and painted since the early eighties, constantly learning from many diverse artists through workshops and classes.  My education began at Tarrant County Junior College. I soon discovered painting and begin intense study with Opal Palmer, a Ft Worth artist. I continued my art education with painting workshops with Pam Ingalls, De-bob Jacobs, Bob Rohm, Jill Carver, Betty Carr, Marc Hanson, Laurie Pace, Niki Gulley and James Spurlock. Brush mileage is the best teacher.

I was the selected Artist for six solo shows, been featured artist 15 times, participated in plein-air events and multiple group shows. I have been the featured artist in 5 publications.

I work in an impressionistic style using oil paints on canvas or board.  I use a palette knife to build up color and texture. Many of my paintings are inspired from painting on location. I have a love of the Texas landscape. Observing the changing Texas sky and landscape is an inspiration. I currently have paintings in Dutch Art Gallery, Dallas, Texas and Assemblage Contemporary Craftsman Gallery, Buda, Texas.  I post a new painting several times a week on my website, blog and Artist of Texas sites. Please check out my gallery. I feel original artwork brings beauty and warmth to an environment. When I create a painting, I am telling a story. My hope is you can connect on an emotional response and develop your own story.
