At a young age...
at 4 years old, my mother sat me down at a small child’s table outside. She gave me 1 brush, 4 paints, and a piece of thick paper to paint on. She told me to paint something. My sketching became famous at Fairmont Elementary School.
In the 3rd grade, I carved my name in 3-D style on mywooden chair. My pals Tim & David asked if I would carve their names as well. I said yes, for$1.00. They gladly paid and I was busy all year doing side jobs in class with art. I continued tosketch and paint a bit through out my school years.
Growing up...
In the 10th grade, I won a congressional art contest and my watercolor was selected and signed over to be property of a Washington, D.C. Art Museum. I worked and went to college as a history major while abandoning my God given talent in art. Every time I saw an old classmate or teacher, they’d ask “did you ever do anything with your talent in art?”
Staring out...
In 1991, I married the woman of my dreams. I did a small "pen and ink" of a bear for our apartment. We moved and bought a new house which needed pictures badly. She told me that she was going to buy some paintings that afternoon. I asked her not to; I said, “please give me a chance to paint again.”
She came home and handed me one brush, four paints and a canvas. This was 16 years since I had picked up a brush. Later, I took my work to a gallery and the owner gladly published it, and this is how my art career began.
and, Today...
I spend my days loving my life, surrounded by my beautiful wife, my three children, and a passion for art which has carried me for years. Today, I travel around the east coast, finding beautiful scenes and landscapes to eternalize on canvas. My primary focus is on realism reproductions, but I have passion for many art styles.
