Welcome to a small step in a long journey!
I have loved to draw and paint ever since I was a child. I remember early in grade school seeing my first Norman Rockwell painting, a painting of a mother and child praying over a simple meal in a diner. The painting was titled "Saying Grace." I was so inspired by it. In awe, actually, that a human could possibly paint something so incredible. Years later I was equally stunned by the works of Maxfield Parish and recently, the French painter William Bouguereau.
Though I received a degree in Advertising Art and Art Education, it wasn't until I studied painting in the graduate program at Edinboro University that I began to consider my own future as an artist.
This site, I hope, will be a small step in that future. I hope you enjoy the work!
