My Grandparents who remained friends in spite of everything, my Wife, my Daughter, and my pets who all remind me I am loved. Each expresses themselves a bit differently in the way they remind me.
I'm an Artist. I work with several mediums. At
the present time, I am painting most but I work with photography in 35mm, medium
formats along with digital. My paintings involve acrylic and oil. Now and then I
do water colors and drawings. For the past three years, I have been
experimenting with mixed media adding textures and surprise elements into
abstract pieces. My background is in TV News, I studied Radio TV Film Art, at
U.T., I've broadened my creative horizons over the years.
I create...Original Paintings on Canvas, Photography, Fine Art
Prints, Large Contemporary Modern Abstracts, Pop Art, Enormous Decorator Loft
Art, Nudes, Golden Retrievers, Siamese cats, Florals, Texas Pop Culture,
Caribbean & Tropical Art, Crosses, Spiritual Art, Landscapes, and Piano
Guitar Art.
