About the Artist

I've always loved to draw and paint and from time to time in my life I would return to it again and again when I had the time.  I never lost the joy of creating a beautiful world on paper or canvas.   When I was a child I was often reprimanded for drawing in my school books.  I guess that I always wanted to be an artist.   One morning I woke and realized that it was time for me to become an artist.                                                                                                                        That was ten years ago and today I am an artist.  I work in watercolor and oil and have tried acrylics but found that they don't really suit my style, whatever that is... 

My subject are the things that I love.  Flowers are always an inspiration for me, as well as the landscape.  To other artists like myself who have waited until their later years to become an artist I say...

Do it!  The doing is the becoming.
