I have always painted since I was a child growing up in Luling, Louisiana, a small town on the Mississippi river up from New Orleans. I had a few lessons from an aunt who did cutesy things and crafts. In high school, I had a little rock n roll band and played trumpet and baritone in the marching band. I did scenery for high school productions and then went to Charity Hospital School of Radiologic (X-ray)Technology in New Orleans and lost contact with painting. I was looking inside in more ways than one. It gave me a unique perspective on the deep, dark part of the physical world.

I attended Louisiana State University and studied music education for one semester. I was even in Tiger Band; what a blast! I loved it but there was not much of a financial future in that arena. Then I discovered architecture (frozen music and art), a wonderful synthesis of art and science. During that time, I had two art classes as electives and rediscovered my love of painting. My art professor once stated that "Before a painting becomes a vase of flowers, a man on a horse, or a landscape, it is merely one color adjacent to another." That, with my analytical approach to details is what I try to see in every brush stroke.....one color next anoth...
