Introduction

As an artist many styles of art-making inspire me, with my strengths being drawing, painting and collage. I have been a freelance artist for over thirty years with portraiture showcasing my ability to capture personalities through realism and expressionism. Narrative is a key element in my art, and as a visual storyteller I use a variety of media and sometimes text to enhance the subject matter which is either painted or reimagined from found images.
My studios and gallery spaces are at Dilworth Artisan in Southend and VAPA Center in Uptown Charlotte.
