Art is happy. It is about exploring lots of different materials and creating something joyful, fun or peaceful. Most of the images I create are considered mixed media. The use of acrylic paints, acrylic paint mediums, pastels, inks, fabric, paper, pencil and pen provide the opportunity for endless creative possiblities. My faith, family and friends are the inspiration for the images I create, they are the harmony and the love.
Born in Atlanta, GA, I grew up in Texas, Germany and Tennessee. I started drawing and painting as a child and continued exploring art throughout my early education. After attending college for two years at Queens College in Charlotte, NC, I completed my BS degree from the University of Tennessee in 1984.
