As a child I was happiest when I was drawing or creating. I wasn't the most academic, so I gained confidence and attention through my arts and sports.

I feel like the luckiest person on earth to be able to make my living through selling my paintings.  I  am a very hard worker and I believe this is the only way to success.  I have always been extremely inspired to work hard in my studio. I am a prolific painter and have put well over the "10,000 hours" in my studio.

I am constantly looking forward to my next body of work and pushing myself to create something better each time.

I plan to peak as a painter at 80 years old... then I may start to take it easy :)

Something magical takes over when I pick up my paint brush and apply the paint... I feel like something/someone else is moving me to paint.
