I began painting on canvas in the 3rd grade after watching my mother, Bob Ross and art teachers.  I then began to enter art contests and my classmates began to ask me how I learned to draw or paint as my homeroom teacher would placed each painting on above the chalk board.  

I kept painting throughout my youth and after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice at Kent State University, I wished that I had majored or minored in some sort of art program. However, I was able to pick up some elective classes in drawing and sculpting. It was here that I learned the art of using rough brush strokes and line drawing and etching. While at the mall in Cleveland, someone showed me a book by Thomas Kinkaid which inspired me to add more variations of color to my landscape paintings.  

After graduation co-workers began to see my work and personal orders were requested. I once sketched someone's dog which wouldn't sit still and painted the Naval ship which my neighbor was stationed on, in exchange for him replacing my timing belt on my Honda Civic-a $500 job!

In 2002-03  I enrolled and graduated from Art Instruction Schools which enhanced my drawing skills and my quality of work in painting improved.  

Although I am still learning, I believe the almighty has given me a talent that I must use to glorify Him and bless your home or business. A talent should not be stored in a box or attic, but should be shared with others. I hope my work as you see it in my blog posts, Facebook, or in person, will inspire you to use your talents, or find a hidden gift. My work, if placed in your gallery, home, or office; will enhance your surroundings and spark conversation.
