"As a self-taught artist, I am captivated by how the humble pencil brings an image to life."

I began drawing as a child, Inspired by Walt Disney’s animations and later by Walter Foster books.
At 19, I lost my left arm in a motorcycle accident, but this did not deter me. Grateful for my right hand and vision, I continued to pursue my dream of being an artist.
While raising four children with my beautiful wife Sue, I honed my drawing skills, intermittently between work.
I particularly enjoy drawing trees, animals and portraits.
Drawing has been my constant companion.
