This page will include many of my favourite images from events attended under the umbrella of art and occasional additional adventures. My heartfelt thank you to those who walk this path with me, often art patrons who have become friends visiting to check on things, sometimes spending hours helping set up or close an event. Your presence has engaged me on a significant level.

I also want to publicly thank my family for their support of this career choice. My mother and father, for their financial support and encouragement to continue going forward in what might be considered an unrealistic means of employment; they invested regardless. My youngest son for his every day involvement in a life that often includes paintings in every room including the kitchen. My oldest son and daughter for though from a distance, their presence still close.

There are those who have influenced greatly the content of my art; I hope you know who you are. I’ve searched for love and the best sentiment of it I’ve found is caring enough for another that their life and desires matter as much as your own. The tenacity to see a cared for relationship thrive is of utmost importance. My paintings can be considered a journal, of sorts, and you are interwoven within them.

The greatest influence in the quantity of art being created is caused by the people who are buying the art and bringing it home. And also that I am single and supporting my family. Honestly, without those two factors, I would not fully have had the incentive to put the emotion and experience of my life onto canvas in this quantity.

Thank you for the time invested, those involved in the way this has unfolded. This photo album is dedicated to you and most especially for you!

Orchid Tree Park & Gallery, this was a most lovely event. Debbie Koenig created this installment with the idea of two straight lines of 25.

One of my first and dearest art patrons requested this photo – these were the early days – like they’re not still early, but they are different. Red River Revel was my first large art event and I am especially grateful for the friendships I built in that time.

My travel companion, Kira Ellington, helped me find and drive home an antique 100 year old sofa from a resale shop in Shreveport in 2015. We are the third guardians of this lovely velvet living room set, cushions still stuffed with original horse hair. One of my first art patrons suggested we visit this shop. The ninety something year old lady who had consigned it decided she wanted something new!

My beautiful mother, her style, grace and openmindedness make her extraordinary.

You never know who you are going to meet in a day … I met Jefferson @ White Linen Night and he gave me my first five hour energy drink for which I was so grateful in the overwhelm of load out. Jefferson has since introduced me to a friend in Manhattan who has been the cause of visits to cat sit and explore MoMA, among other things … Unbelievable adventure!

My paintings are often inspired by patterns in nature.
