I assess myself as a SEMI-SEMI-REALIST painter and muralist seeking to capture as many actual details as I can so you can PLACE YOURSELF INTO THE ENVIORNMENT I am portraying and, with our imaginations, GET OUT OF OUR SELVES and LIVE OUT what we see in my paintings. That way, I can go and do whatever I want any time I want and escape the here and now.

I paint scenes I fantasize being a part of. That way, I can enric h my life experiences. I strive for as much realism as possible but am not fully a realist….but I’m getting there.

I am fascinated with tropical fish, golf course scenes and unusual and serene landscapes, arch itecture and tiny home designs, wildlife, athletes and people in action, and especially I PAINT MY DREAMS as a memorial to what Yahweh is teaching me at the moment. Also I am a muralist having painted in Wilson, North Carolina, in the 70’s and 80’s and in Charlotte, North Carolina, in the 90’s an d early 2000’s. I also have done several murals in Northern Peru when on mission trips.
