This is me with my wife, Judy. We have been married since 1976 and have two wonderful children and four beautiful grandchildren.
I graduated from college with a degree in art education, but somehow got sidetracked and ended up working in the business world for forty-plus years. That work, along with helping to raise our family kept me pretty busy and I found little time to pursue art. However, after I retired in the summer of 2012, I made it a point to return to that passion and have been drawing ever since.
Drawing portraits has always been my primary focus. I’ve done a few paintings over the years but always seemed to find myself being pulled back to drawing. Graphite was always my first love, but the richness I’ve found using colored pencils has been very satisfying.
In the short time since I returned to drawing on a regular basis, I have learned that I have something to offer with my artwork. I greatly appreciate the love of family, both human and animal and I want my portraits to showcase that love. Let me know if I can help showcase your family.
