A Texas Wanderer, I am an audacious, self-taught artist based in Abilene, Texas. I describe my photographic art and mixed media art as a visual journey of discovery and revelation. For me, art comes out of life, and not prescribed. And over the course of my time it has become a journey of self-discovery..... never ending, interwoven with energy, complexity, impulsiveness, and the occasional pause of quiet contemplation.

My early years of creativity were born from art elective classes through-out my public school years.... painting, drawing, sculpture. Influential to me in high school art classes was Ms. Katy Presswood. I also attended several photography classes in the evenings and weekends provided by Larry Sanders of Keaton Kolor. I used that knowledge and became a “freelance” photojournalist/writer for the Abilene Reporter News covering “spot news and news of interest” from several surrounding towns in the Big Country. Eventually my creative desire for art and photography began to blend, blading a journey forward into exciting new territory. The journey has recently evolved into photographic art and mixed media, sculpture, and works on paper. I am an artist with determination, passion, and with a spirit of exploration that I hope the viewer will see and feel in my art.
