Oil artist of twenty years in Frederick Md. I have a passion for flowers and landscapes. I also have my art design created into fashion with Vida creative studios. I am a curator at the Women's Center Art Gallery at FMH in Frederick Md.
My story starts in Wilmington, Delaware where I was raised in a family that greatly appreciated art and learned to use my artistic ability to see what I was gifted in doing. From there I went to college and received a degree at Towson University with a focus on painting.
I found my true love and friend in college, married her, and stayed in the Baltimore metro area. From Maryland I have helped raise a family of four and continue to create paintings and learn what it means to be an artist businessman.

My interest in photography began when I was a music columnist at the Washington Star newspaper. Writing a weekly music column for six years, I interviewed over 300 artists including Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, David Bowie, James Brown...a veritable Who's Who of the music world. There were times when there were no photographers available to accompany me on assignments...so I brought along my Nikon. Fifteen years ago, on a trip to New Mexico, I made the switch from film to digital photography.

I was born in a little town Steubenville, Ohio and raised in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia called Weirton. Twenty minutes from Pittsburgh, PA. The Steel Valley! Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Sports towns and big rivalries. Our claim to fame was our diversity, our steel mills and most of all what I call the 19. Nineteen professional, baseball, football and basketball players that came from one street in a town where sports was integrated in 1956. Amazing! the Street was Weir Avenue or “CALICO HILL” where every nationality live and worked together.

I am a no frills painter. My methods are crude. Brushwork eludes me. I prefer fingers, palette & putty knives, sandpaper, old t-shirts and paper towels. I like texture. My approach is rooted in impressionism, but the execution is abstract-fauvist. Or something. There is a major disconnect between my thoughts and my fingertips.
