I can say that I really enjoy the act of picking up a brush, and making something appear on a blank piece of paper. To watch it evolve, and rise like a phoenix from the ashes. And to know that everyone can do it, if they try.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature, into his picture.

BIOGRAPHY

I have been painting since February of 2006, and I have tried to learn the necessary skills, as well as, enjoy all the attempts to execute them.

The one thing I have learned is that you can only fail, if you do not try.

I have taken lessons from both Harold Burton, and Julia Conlon,and, I give them credit for their patience in teaching me, and the things I have accomplished so far. I have limited showing, and I have won at small country fairs, as well as placing first in the 2008 “Beginners Category”, of the “North Light Book” competition. I am so grateful for the confidence these wins have given me.

I work mostly in water colours, but I also work in acrylics, soft pastels, and “pen and ink”. My subject matter has been dog and horse portraits, but I am expanding to include landscapes, seascapes, people, and still life.
