From photo, acrylic and pastels, I’ve moved to digital images and digital brushes, as well as old-style brushes and new QoR watercolors with a modern binder, to express my artistic perspective.

 

Much of my art is imaginative, colorful and often printed on heavy, textured canvas or paper. New works are varnished and mounted on cradled wood panels. Some are layered with hot resin and beeswax (encaustic).

​

Much of my work focuses on Texas and in a number of pieces, I try to include a little mystery, and sometimes, humor.

BACKGROUND

​

After winning the third grade art contest, my attention was diverted.

• 40 years as an editor in Corpus Christi, Dallas, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami and Washington, D.C.

• Army tour in Germany and Vietnam.

• A journalism degree and grad school with a few art classes along the way.

• Worked for James Michener on his book, "Kent State" after the shootings at my school.

I retired as a publisher and picked up where I left off, creating art.
