I was a sickly child...no really, I was. I stayed inside a lot, because the outdoors made me sneeze, and cough, and before I knew it, I would be in the hospital with pneumonia. But, it was good training. I found I loved to draw and make things more than anything else. As a child of the 80’s, TV was my biggest inspiration. I drew and painted along with my favorite teachers on PBS, and doodled my favorite cartoon characters and movie stars.
Fast forward to adulthood...yes I survived. Determined to become an “artist,” I graduated Harding University with a Bachelor or Science in Art in 1996. I was already working as a picture framer during college, so I continued this while I started picking up freelance work for books, logos, advertising, and portraiture.
In 2014 Arkansas Ducks Unlimited approached me about become a sponsor artist for their conservation fund raising efforts. I excepted and became the most ironic “Duck Artist” in history, having never been duck hunting. They must have liked what I did, because I’ve done 7 sponsor prints as of 2020.
I still take numerous art commissions during the year, as well as sell prints of my more popular works. Thanks to everyone who has supported my life long art addiction. If you would like to collaborate on a project, feel free to contact me.
