I'm originally from Maryland. My family moved to the South when I was 13. I'm a self-taught artist who tried a bit of art school and decided it wasn't to my liking. I wanted to do my own thing!

I've just returned to the US after living on the South Coast of England for 4 years, so I'm very busy at the moment trying to reconnect with the artist community here in Athens, Georgia.

I paint in acrylics for the most part, though I often stray to oils or watercolors. I like to take things from nature that we most often ignore, take for granted or trod upon without a second glance as my subjects. Beauty can be found in the simplest things.

Currently I'm working on 2 different projects. One is a series of watercolors and the other are pen and ink drawings.

Hiking/Nature Walks, Reading, Photography, Bird Watching. . .lot's of stuff

This is a fun series.  I like the way you set the color and pattern of the toads against the pen and ink backgrounds.  It's very striking and different from what we might expect.

Glad you liked the leaves.  They are of actual maple tree leaves I found while on a trip to Seattle WA.

Hey, I like your "Earthscapes". I live close to the Ohio river and I like to walk along the banks and look at the river gravel. I used to collect large flat rocks to paint on. I would paint small landscapes on them, and many times the contour of the rock would decide the composition. Lately, I've thought about painting on rocks again, and selling them on e-bay. You do really good work, I'd like to see more.
