My father and I were constantly working on arts and crafts. Under his teaching and coaching, I developed many of my skills.  The inherited talent I received from him had the greatest impact on my creativity. Also, even though I had an opportunity to study art at the University of Northern Colorado, basically, I am self taught.  I settled on acrylics because of its versatility.

Early in my career, I entered many art shows throughout the west.  In spite of the success I enjoyed, I took a break from art for several years because of different priorities.  I have now resurrected my art career and am committed to commissions, mostly painting whatever anyone requests. Such as paintings of: machines, automobiles, family sports, animals, pets, landscapes and western themes. The greatest praise I can receive is when someone says, “that looks just like a photograph”.
