I have allways loved to draw and paint, I decided to be an artist at a young age. My Mother, the finest artist I know, taught me to draw as a child. It wasn’t until I had an accident and became disabled that I decided to focus my all on my art. I am a father of 5, two sons and three daughters. My kids are all but grown up now so my wife, Jodi, Jo for short, and I decided I should put all my evergy into my art. We love to travel to as many art shows as possible. This year we are going too the southwest U.S. to paint the deserts.
