About Me

My photo
Durham, NC
After graduating from the University of Mobile in 1985 I started a career as an artist. My life consisted of Easel painting, Murals, Trompe l'oeil and faux finishes. I did this for 18 years until reaching a point of creatively burning out. I painted nothing of substance for almost 7 years. In January of 2010 things happened to open my eyes to the beauty around me and a deep desire to paint again. This blog will be dedicated to my new work. Paintings that are for me and my pleasure and the pleasure of others and not for a pay check. My hope is that this will help to keep the work fresh and of true vision.

"Liberty Warehouse"

About ten years ago I had the privilege of being asked to help out with the painting of some of the sets for the Durham Savoyard's production of "The Sorcerer"

Every year since, cold and sometimes wet, Saturday mornings in February have been the harbinger of spring and another wonderful performance of a Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta. 

These times have given me some of my best friends and comrades. They are really a stellar group of people that love music, theater and performing, on stage and behind it!!!!

2010 was the last year to build sets in the Liberty Warehouse and with all the wonderful growth going on in Durham I wasn't sure how much longer this sign would be here. Soooooo this is for remembering.....

I dedicate this painting to the Teckies and singers that spent a cold morning or a late night at the "Liberty Warehouse"

Thanks
