When I finished high school in 1971 I had not a clue what to do. It took me till 1990 to find my way to art in a series of workshops with Peggy Zehring. I worked sporadically at art until 2002 when I had one of those catastrophic events that turned my life upside down. This is when I became avid about painting. Painting kept me from panic so I stuck with it and this site is the result of perseverance.

    Towards the end of 2002 I met my next teacher Mary Tudor. It was she that taught me the value of oil paints and how to use them. Under her guidance I started really understanding what the components of composition were and how to get depth, simplicity and contrast in my pieces.

    I continue working, subscribing to the notion, if you work at anything long enough it will become an accomplishment of note. 

    That said, enjoy.
