Art has been my lifelong dream and I now have the satisfaction of art being my full time passion.  I am living my dream, although I will always stive to become a better painter .  Before I retired from the military I could only get bits and pieces to add to my art education.  Now art is a never ending source of fullfilment.  I truly enjoy being part of the artistic community who together inspire each other to greater accomplishment and learn from each other.  I am further inspired by teaching art to kids at art camps, and painting plein air with other artists at wonderful locations.  I am grateful for the gift of art in my life. The pursuit of better painting through art completes me.

With unending thanks to my great teachers, mentors and friends who continue to inspire me.
