My family moved from North Carolina to Princess Anne County when I was nine.  After living in several locations in the Norfolk area, we finally settled into the Willoughby-Oceanview area when I was about 14 years old.  I loved the beach, the Amusement Park and working as a delivery driver during high school for Tucker Drugs Store in Oceanview.
I studied art for three years while attending Granby High School, until graduation in 1961.  Yet, after meeting my wife, and marrying in 1964, I never drew or painted another picture until 2019.  In the meantime, my wife and I raised a lovely family, consisting of two children and lots of dogs and a cat, during our 45 year journey together.  Our family now includes five grandchildren and two great  grandchildren.  The youngest granddaughter is named Stevie, in memory of her grandmother.
​In late 2019, an overwhelming desire to leave some part of me behind for my family led me to a small art class at my apartment complex.  That “How to Draw a Face” class renewed my desire to paint and be creative again.  By early 2020, I was drawing my grandchildren and painting landscapes using acrylics, watercolors and occasionally watercolor pencils.
I enjoy mixing media to explore different effects.  Stepping a little further out of the box, I explored alcohol ink, sometimes adding acrylics to the alcohol to create some really cool-looking pieces.  I believe expressionism is the most fitting word to describe my artwork.  After such a long period away from painting, I know I have so much to learn.  I am enjoying every minute of painting and creating once again.
