Born: Feb 5,1953, near Atlanta, Ga
Educated at Valdosta State in 1971-72 as an Art Major

"I have been involved with art, drawing and painting, all my life, from the time I was 6 years old. However, as an adult, I spent 30 years working in various technical assignments with AT&T. I retired from the company in 2002 so that I am now able to devote more time to my creativity. Having spent most of my life growing up in the south, I and my wife, Kathy, recently relocated to Pittsfield, Massachussetts, Kathy's hometown. New to the area, I am slowly getting to know people, especially within the art community. My goal was to begin showing my artwork in local venues in Western Massachussetts. As of this writing, I have begun to do that, having been in 4 or 5 shows to this point."


Artist's Statement

"I love abstract, and I'm driven by color. The energy produced by the interaction of conceived shapes is equaled only by the power of color. Color is a magnificent force within our world, and colors used correctly can evoke feelings and ideas never thought possible.
"Over the years, my work has evolved into colorful, biomorphic images, whether through oils, acrylics, pastels, or ink. Abstract expressions excite me like nothing else can. Infinite possibilities! Images that beg to grow and change before your eyes. My art is not really complex or hard to understand. Just look closely and you'll see life. And life is always interesting..."
