I am a Tennessee based artist and I have been creating and studying art since I was very young. Drawing and painting, as a way of expression and creativity, have always been my passion.  
Inspiration for a piece can come in an instant and usually comes from the beauty of nature.  Natural elements such as a bright colored flower, autumn leaves, the moon and stars or a vibrant sky are just a few examples.  These elements combined with birds and other animals, structures, such as barns, houses and churches and sometimes human figures are the subject of a long running series called
"Landscapes".  Ultimately, what I am really doing with all of these elements is trying to create an environment within the piece that is intriguing and evokes a sense of wonder.

I intend for the subject matter to be identifiable.  However, I am bored with "proper" proportions and color choices.  This is evident throughout my art work.  For example, you may see a flower, that in comparison to a church, is as big as a tree.  I feel that art and imagination do not have limits and in my own opinion, the unexpected is what makes a piece of art interesting.  My work is always evolving and I hope that it is always maturing.  If it didn't, then I would become uninspired and indifferent and I believe that it would easily show in my work.
