My Mission Statement When I was very young, I decided that I must become an Artist and drive a Hot Rod. Yippee !!!   I did it !   I did it !

Personal information:
Born in Houston Texas April 13, 1939. 
Married to my wonderful wife Cheryl Ann.    We have 4 children and 3 grandchildren. 
My hobbies are many.  I have just finished building an award winning customized 1947 Ford convertible . My present project is designing and building a "futursitic" 1951 Hudson

 My philosophy of art and being an artist is two-fold.  The first and most difficult for any of us is to love what we do and have what we love to do be our chosen profession.  The second concerns what I produce as an artist.  My creations are based on my day to day experiences and observations of humanity and their dealing with the predicament of life.  I am not a purist nor do I seek total realism in my art but I try to offer something that will stir the imagination of the viewer.  My pleasure is knowing that I may have taken the viewer away from the harsh reality of this world and given them a sense of wonderment and hope.
