Loved art from a young age and decided to join the ranks of all the famous artist in the past and not yet discovered. What a better place to study art then on the beaches of Southern Florida. While at the Art Institute I started to learn using the aribrush as a tool for developing a style from the canvas to the automobile, then to homes and restaurants with the Trompe L'oeil and faux painting style. |
|
| One of my first jobs had been to work for the Jim Walter's Corporation, working with different types of paper. We worked with advertising artist throughout the Florida state to show the importance of paper in the final design. | ||
| After a few years painted cars with the Ford Company and then from that point on started to paint airbrush murals on cars and trucks. This had been the opportunity to develop my technique as an airbrush artist. Moved on to work as a technical artist with the Army and Navy at the same time continuing to do jobs as a mural artist. To make extra money, learned to faux paint with mural art work for schools, restaurants, churches, and office buildings. | ||
| From 1984 to present have been with the USAF as a graphic designer, photographer, and computer artist. It wasn't until 2007 that I decided to paint with a digital painitng software, "Corel Painter". Attended the Lepp Institute with Fay Sirkis as the instructor, developed a technique that captures the soul . With the digital tablet and pen with a digital photograph, the scanner and the software, art has developed into a new and unique art form. I hope you will enjoy reviewing the web site and visiting the many artist who have continued improving their techniques over the years. | ||
