I came to Tidewater in 1988 as a military member from Texas.  I started painting in oil and acrylic mediums and took up decorative painting when I got here.  I retired from the Air Force in 1995 and moved to Chesapeake in 1999. 

I became interested in water color painting in 2010 and looked for venues to learn more about it.  I’ve studied locally with several artists and have taken a number of workshops to expand my experience.  I have participated in area art shows and have sold paintings locally.

My favorite medium is water color.  My favorite pictures to paint are portraits and sea/landscapes.
