About the Artist

---

I grew up in a strict military household - moving from state to state, coast to coast.  California's light, Georgia's hills, the raw heat of Texas, the soft winds of the Carolinas... these places etched my memory and shaped my vision before I ever picked up a brush.

As a child, I taught myself how to draw.  It was my refuge, my way to find stillness and meaning in an unforgiving world ruled by discipline and change.  Years later, I studied classical oil painting in college, discovering in its layers a sacred vocabulary for everything I couldn't put into words.

Then came the years of illness.  Quiet, grueling battles that left scars  visible and invisible - nerve damage, tremors in my hands, fading eyesight.  But my faith became stronger.  Many well-meaning people told me I couldn't continue with my art.  But painting isn't just what I do.  It's how I pray.

Every time I lift my brush, despite the tremor or blurred vision, it is an act of defiance.  Of hope.  Of thankfulness.  Of faith.

My art is spiritual - not in slogans or symbols, but in atmosphere and allegory.  Each painting is a whispered scripture.  A living Psalm.  I believe in the Holy Spirit's presence in all things natural.  The invisible thread that links our soul to the Divine.  I create to reflect that connection as my form of worship.

I've been painting for over 40 years.  Oil, acrylics, and now digital canvases are all part of my language.  Each piece I create is layered with memory, persistence, and worship.  When collectors bring my art into their homes, they are not buying just an image - they are sharing in my story, my faith, and my prayer.

This is not decoration.  This is devotion.
