I am thrilled to see people enjoying my art. God gave me a gift of being not only able to paint but to express my creativity through a photographer’s eye.  I am thankful for the talent that I have been give and I desire to share my creativity by offering affordable art for many people to enjoy. 

As an artist I enjoy creating images that allow my viewers to see a glimpse of the past while creating a connection to changes in time and progress.  At times I like to mix vintage images of the past with a hint of anachronism that represent the changes time makes on life.  

My artwork naturally gravitates towards the things I know best including old barns, vintage vehicles, and tools of the trade. It is my intention to highlight the working efforts of our hands. I hope to accomplish a respect for what is becoming a lost art, that of working with the tools that have endured over time. 

When I create artistic digital images, I want my viewers to connect to an expression surrounded by a specific mood, concern or sometimes a patriotic expression. As my artwork continues to develop the underlying passion for expressive artwork stays steadfast. I strive to engage viewers of my artwork towards a positive and personal interpretation.
