Becoming an artist is something that I never really thought of as a potential career. I grew up expressing my creativity through model railroading, building five or six layouts over my lifetime and learning how to paint backdrops and watching Bob Ross videos. I started painting a couple paintings using his style. My son went to art school and started painting, and I was further inspired by his work. Most of my life I’ve been focused on business and entrepreneurship, and not artistic expression. As I have wound down some of my college teaching of business, I got involved with several art groups to learn drawing and painting, and was inspired by one of the members to meet one of my mentors Mark Carder, who taught me some fundamental basics of painting realism that has led to my body of emerging art with a passion for Vintage, transportation and nature. I hope you enjoy my work and look forward to your comments.
