Artist Statement:
The meaningfulness of an
artists work is of extreme
importance to the artists and
the viewer.
The things that inspire me the
most to paint are historical
significance, personal
experience, spiritual
experience and artistic
challenge. Most of the time
these areas are interrelated.
As time passes, the evolution
of my work changes
technically and in artistic
understanding. My Emotions
are evoked as each painting is
conceived and done. In Roses
in Peach, I could see my
grandmothers roses basking in
the warm Arkansas sun. I
could feel the humid, warm air
surround me and the roses,
much the same as God does with
the of his love.
For me the creating of art is
the extension of athletic and
intellectual competition.
Many times I awake in the
middle of the night, to view a
painting in progress. Some
times a great idea comes to me
at these times.

Inspiration comes from the many things that have touched my life from family to school. I paint the places that provided the place for the moment to take place and put the people in the painting |
