About the Artist:
I was born and raised in a small farming town in Southern Illinois. I moved to Vero Beach in 1978. I have been painting for over a decade and use both acrylic and oil mediums. I paint a variety of subjects including beach scenes, flowers, Florida landscapes, wildlife, pet portraits and many other commissioned works. My work has been exhibited in juried shows such as the A.E.Backus Museum in Ft. Pierce, Fl. and the Indian River County Courthouse. My paintings are in private collections throughout the United States. My latest works include my popular fish bowls. I paint fish in layers of resin to create a realistic 3D appearance.
