Biography
For me life has become, not about the destination, but rather learning to enjoy the journey. That journey has not always taken a direct route. There have been a few stops and detours along the way. I suppose that also describes my journey of discovering my place in fine art.
I have had no formal education in art. I graduated from a small Baptist college with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration, with art as only an occasional enjoyment. I have no regrets in that part of my journey, as I have learned much. I have discovered the ability to create things with my hands. I have the satisfaction of knowing I can run my own business. I have enjoyed meeting and interacting with so many nice people. Like most introverts, with a little help from friends, running my own company nudged me out into this world.
15 years ago, because of some outside influences, I found myself taking a different path. I put down the trowel, and picked up the artist's paint brushes, and pulled from under the bed those paintings stored out of sight for too long. Just as I had failed to pull out of myself the gifts God gave me, and finally share them with others.
There was a time when fifteen years was an eternity. Now fifteen years as an artist makes me realize, those years are only a beginning. A beginning of a journey that will be winding, yet full of interesting and enjoyable discovery. I believe like most artists; my best work is still before me. And I am going to enjoy the journey getting there.
