Scribbling and drawing on my parents walls is pretty much how my art started. I enjoy all mediums although oil is probably my favorite, especially since I have found a wonderful water soluble oil (Cobra). 

Although it doesn’t seem like it, art is hard! But it’s the most enjoyable hard work one could ever hope to do! I feel lucky to be able to work at it everyday! I love taking a simple, even boring scene that most people would never pay attention to and evoking a “feeling” into it, showing you how I see it and maybe it will “speak” to you.

Having grown up in the Midwest out in the country, I love everything farm life…simple things we see everyday. Tractors, trains, grain elevators, barns, chickens, cows, old cars…so many things waiting to be painted! I never know what might catch my wandering  eyes, always looking for that next painting.

I also love painting fish too… I’m not sure why I guess I like the challenge of giving a pretty boring animal a personality.
