I first started painting oils in 1997.

Shortly after getting comfortable painting in oils, my brother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. After he passed and I wanted to continue with classes, there was no one available to teach the classes so I didn’t paint at all for a few years. When I started to paint again, I started painting in acrylics. I’m now about to return to oil painting, at least part of the time. I love painting and find it very relaxing. It definitely keeps me happy. I hope you find something either for yourself or as a gift for that someone special. If I can paint anything special for you, please let me know.

Please note that I have won 2nd place for painting on wood at the Dixie Classic Fair in Winston-Salem, NC each of the last three years. I also have a 3rd place ribbon for painting acrylics on metal.
