I have roots in South Carolina, but I have been an Austin resident for 35 years, I paint in my studio in my backyard, which I've opened up to the public when I participated in the West Austin Studio Tour. I have also had a studio in Travis Heights and participated in the open studio tours there. I have been employed for over 25 years at the Texas Legislative Council, which provides a supportive environment for artists and other creative people.
Still lifes and interior scenes are major interests of mine. I also paint abstracts and landscapes. My paintings are inspired by and based on set ups in my studio, drawings, and photos. I strive to use inventive perspective and color, personal meaning, playfulness, and other elements to produce paintings that energize and reinterpret these genres.
