In today's spotlight |

 One of my favorite children's portraits, "Emerson at the pond", was awarded first place in the "people" category at the Brushstrokes and Beyond fall art show in Lacombe, Louisiana. |
 My latest work is a pastel painting titled "Louisiana evening Blue". It shows a majestic Blue Heron at sunset in a Louisiana marshland. |

--- About Me ---
Artist, Sculptor, Illustrator, Graphic Designer, Set Designer
I have been an
artist since the moment I was born. Self-taught, of course, learning
from nature,
comic books and cartoons. In college I was suddenly exposed to a world
of art I had never known.
I saw the great works of history that crowded museums and was taught
how artists
created those images with passion and skill. My fine art teachers
didn’t like my work. Everything was just to clear.
It wanted to tell a story. They suggested I go into “Illustration”, a
field of art unknown to me.
Best advice I ever got. I found my people, created some fabulous art
and won
over 40 advertising awards doing it.
I even got my Masters in Advertising Design from Syracuse University
and taught Illustration and Graphic Design at Louisiana State
University for
6 years while working in agencies and freelance for 20 years.
In spite of my college teacher's advice, I also dabbled in “Fine Art”.
Come on in and look around.
