In 1976, I acquired formal training through a scholarship to Parsons School of Design in New York City. During my first year as a student I was hired as a graphic designer and illustrator by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Since then, I have created artwork for numerous award winning projects from advertising agencies and design firms to museums through out the north & southeast as well as the midwest.
I am currently in pursuit of my greatest endeavor as an artist, painting fine art projects that interest me.
These oil paintings were completed within the past year of 2015. All other mediums, painted & drawn (i.e., collage, watercolor, pen & ink) were completed prior to that date.

I met Jake in the late 70s. He was a well known prolific gardener that lived in my hometown of Anderson, SC. He was able to grow just about anything.
