In my earliest years I loved to draw color and paint. Often the only passing grade I received in elementary school was in art. I felt I had to take art seriously and since then I have been creating art for over forty years. Many of my works have won awards and prizes, but the greatest satisfaction is when I sell a piece or finish a commission.

I feel art has great power to express what words cannot, and therefor art has a great potential to create change in our world.

The Bible teaches that gifts and talents come from God, (Epistle of James 1:7) I want to express my thankfulness to The Lord by using my gifts to be a gift to others.

I have had the privilege of teaching many talented and promising students. I began to make handouts as a take home assignments for my younger students who needed to develop more confidence. They became the foundation of this blog.

On a sunny day you can find me in the fields, farms, and pathways of Howard County MD painting in oil or watercolor.
