I am a self taught artist that was awarded a scholarship to Pratt Institute

in New York out of High school but instead choose an athletic schlorship to

the University of Florida.

Throughout my years of teaching and coaching swimming I continued to

paint.

While working outdoors for the past 45 years I worked on my painting

techniques and taught art classes.I won several awards but what really

motivated me was to create visual images that moved people and was

reasonably priced.
