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.

Why boats?

When I see a boat moving through the water or sitting in a dry dock I sense something of the soul within it, sometimes even its ghosts.  The play of light and shadows; the sense of movement and mystery; these elements blend to become the core of my paintings.

So I guess I just cant help it!!
