My Story

I spent my life working with my hands.  My passion is carpentry, building something that didn't exist before.  I spent years remodeling, and reviving worn out homes that have been neglected or abandoned and I brought new life back to them.  I've always put in an honest days work and I take pride in being able to see the result.


​In my second career, I'm putting that same passion and energy into my works of art.  I paint in both acrylics and oil.  I paint, I scrape, I sand and I layer until I'm happy with the result.  My paintings have been described as humble and honest.  I like to think that they reflect the work ethic that I've had all my life.


​My new abstract work was inspired and created in 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic.  The body of work came about from a need to express excitement and color in my life while handling day to day living with the restrictions brought about by the virus.  Take a look at my new abstracts and I believe you will understand my vision.
