Hi, I have subscribed to Artists Magazine ever since one of my dear friends had a feature article done on him (David Hettinger). 

Unlike David, I had a day job for a while.  I began to emerge in central Florida when a move brought my family further south.  Naples is full of artists and aspiring artists.  Emerging in this community is more challenging than I expected, but this past season has been pretty good and I have hopes that the 2007 to 2008 season which begins in the fall in this part of Florida might be even better.

I am currently exhibiting in two seperate solo shows in SW Florida.  I have staged out goals for myself and enter a number of selected juried shows.  I have some hope for gallery representation, but until then, my website is my virtual gallery. 

Right now I am concentrating on work in oils.  I do a lot of plein air painting and love to do work which includes the human figure.  My favorite subject to paint is the human figure: draped or undraped.  Informal portraits also bring me great satisfaction.  I also experiment with pigment.  Please visit my website to see my work and other information.
