I have always enjoyed drawing since a very young child. With anything that left a mark, pencils, charcoal, pens ect. I remember seeing my first real art show, 'Artists of America' in Denver early 80's. That hit a real cord with me, and from then on I knew what I had to do! Seeing original work by artists such as Richard Schmid was unknown to me before that show.
Travelling to the local zoo two or three times a week for a couple years and keeping my hand in different subjects sharpened my ability when I started painting. However, feeling at the time that I needed a 'real job' I graduated with a degree in commercial illustration and did work for Ford, Yamaha, Honda, as a free lance illustrator. In the mid 80's I studied under Mark Daily at The Art Students League in Denver. It was'nt untill about nine years ago that I made the switch to painting full time. Drawing and illustration has helped me to adapt to painting as I continue to scrutinize my technique and individual style. I paint almost exclusively from life. Many are in one sitting with others benefitting from small details added in the studio. I exibit in two galleries, Orley's in Colorado Springs and Grand Lake gallery in Grand Lake Colorado.
