Welcome!!!

Stories - everyone has a tale or two to tell. Not many of us are a 'star' player in the story of life. Most of us are 'character' players. That's ok. The way I figure it, the stars can get pretty boring - always needing the spotlight focused on them. The character players are the ones that make life interesting. Just think what movies would be like without the 'characters'!

Paintings - each should have their own story to tell. They should visually draw you in and whisper, speak, or shout their very own story. Not every piece is a masterpiece. That's ok. The 'character' paintings can be pretty fun and interesting too. Don't get me wrong, I would love to be painting all masterpieces! But until that happens, I love to be painting stories.

I've included the story behind many of my paintings. They may, however, want to tell their very own story to you, so listen carefully. I hope you enjoy their stories as you browse through my website.
