Original Paintings

I'm a self-taught Arkansas artist, with a focus on delta landscapes and moody skies.  Although I have no formal art training, I have drawn since childhood.  I started painting a few years ago, and quickly discovered my passion.

I have two paintings on permanent display at the Delta Cultural Center in Helena, Arkansas.  Some of my work can also be seen at the beautiful Whittington Gallery in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  

I paint primarily with oil, and have recently added oil with cold wax medium to my selection.   I enjoy the blendability of oil paints, especially for my moody landscapes.   

I live in the south, so I am endlessly inspired by the delta landscapes and wild storms....ask anyone who knows me, and they will tell you that I grab a camera as soon as I see a hint of storms! I usually paint from imagination, but also reference my own photos of dark skies, road trips, and vacations.
