When I was in Kindergarten, one day I faced an easel one day with bottles of paint. It was magic! I knew I had to paint..
So, from then on, I looked for opportunities to draw or paint.
I put a poster on the bathroom door, of my parents "landing in jail" because they couldn't pay the bill for a broken leg if anyone stepped on the bathroom floor before it had dried.
I started putting cover art on school assignments, and made a handbill of my teacher's landscaping business.
With an art scholarship, I went to BYU, but my health stopped it too soon.
I won a Utah contest to place cover art on an art brochure
"Uncle Roscoe", a local fine artist saw it an tutored me in the park on Saturdays one summer.
I worked Saturdays as an artist for O.C. Tanner jewelers and began looking for art books at garage sales. I have a fine collection of books now and that is how I continued to learn.
My paintings are from ideas, feelings and experiments.
Currently, I am painting more Cheshire Cats and an Angry Eagles.
I hope you enjoy my work! If you do, please buy something!
