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.

Several people had mentioned that I should paint the Lucky Strike towers. I thought it was a good idea but I just couldn't find the view, angle, lighting..... you get the picture. One day in December I was driving behind the American Tobacco Campus on the track side and happened to look over between two of the buildings and  WOW!! I pulled over and climbed up on the tracks to get this shot. I love it and I hope you enjoy it.
