I have been painting and drawing for over 25 years, including 20 years as a graphic artist/designer. A variety of creative projects has enriched my artistic skills throughout my career.

Even though I still paint studio work, I get most of my enjoyment in painting outdoors, \"En Plein Air\". I feel so inspired when I am surrounded by mother nature and the challenges she brings. If I am not painting with my group, the Ocala Plein Air Painters, I am usually painting at my favorite spot, my beautiful backyard, a fabulous botanical garden tended by my lovely wife Terry. I have always been fascinated by the waters and the beautiful colors around me that mother nature displays. I am obsessed with wanting to paint all that I see and want others to see this also.
