Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Mi, my goal as an artist is to create & reproduce works of art for the working class at affordable prices. My appreciation of art spawned my study of how to paint. Mostly self taught, I learned techniques, color theory, and which supplies worked best through books and the internet. I developed my artistry through imitating artists I admire. The Sense of well being that I have been blessed with through my craft fills me with enthusiasm for painting. Hopefully my work will bring joy and beauty to others.
