I fell in love with paint and was mesmerized by it at the age of seven when I sat for hours to have my portrait painted by Scott Gentling. My father loved art and architecture and educated me on the components of a great painting. Composition, color, style and how the painter handled the paint to convey the subject. 

Painting is how I communicate with the outside world around me. I have never felt a part of the physical world. I still feel different and unique. Sometimes it is my communication with God about the beauty he has created for all of us to enjoy, including human beings. I think my paintings reflect my flight from the time I remember what I was exposed to, to my surroundings and the travels I have experienced. 

I grew up free in the country on a farm in Texas, where I explored nature via horseback. My eye was trained very young to see everything in life as art. I can't look at person without noticing how the light is hitting their face and the colors in that light. I like to watch the light how it changes from day to twilight on the landscape. I can't paint as God can, but I try to convey the love and beauty he wants us to see. I would describe my work as bright, colorful, atmospheric, expressionistic, free flowing with spiritual undertones. I strive to share the beauty and goodness of God's blessings through my art for all to enjoy and appreciate. 

I am always studying the world around me in terms as how would I convert that vision to paint or doesn't that look like a painting already. I carry a camera in my car to record those special moments that happen only once in a lifetime. An incredible sunset that swallows the whole sky, I see on my way home from the store or a yellow tanager, which flies in from South America once a year to live in my orchard. I love to observe her talking to her red orange mate while dancing on the fence. To paint these, I use a variety of different mediums, which are acrylic, watercolor, mono-type, mixed and pastel. 

God's ultimate purpose for my life is my quest, which I record with a brush on

canvas in a method called Painting.
