Say Whaaat? Painting

I grew up in Kansas, land of wheat fields and big sky. After a bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Kansas, life events rooted me in Atlanta's urban bustle. With Kansas in my heart, I found a way to make a home in the metropolis where I enjoyed a 20 year career in graphic design and art direction in the commercial art arena. Steeped in their symbiotic relationship, I learned the importance of resplendent lighting and selective focus. The embrace of these elements is a glorious weave that appears in my paintings. My highest calling is to create...be it the color scheme of a sunroom, an elegant dinner, raising happy and contributing children or creating art.
