Drawing is among my earliest memories and it has never been far from my hand regardless of what I happen to be doing at the time and it is my favorite method of creation. Even in the Marines as soon as they discovered that I could draw I was called on to create a flag, unit emblem, or even T-shirts.

Earning a bachelor’s degree in fine art from Troy University while caring for my kids is my best achievement. Since then I have drawn and painted hundreds of portraits of just about every conceivable subject from people, kids and pets to cars and buildings. Most of my pieces live in private collections while some are in public areas like the Fort Smith, Mayor’s office, the University of Oklahoma, and Troy University, Saint Edward’s Hospital of Fort Smith. You may spot a portrait I’ve done even in a place like Western Sizzlin’.

Although I don’t consider myself a photographer, I’ve always had my hand on a camera, and took every photography class offered in college. Just so I could do my own photography work and tinker around with it. I’ve had a couple of my photo portraits win local competitions.

My favorite hobby is playing lead and rhythm guitar for a bluegrass band called Last Stand (which, btw is available for bookings...)”
