Artwork has been my passion since I was 5 years old, drawing on a roll of brown wrapping paper. At 11 years old my drawings of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington hung in the front of the 5th grade room all year. At 15 years old I painted a horse on my living room wall, much to the pride of my parents. At 17 years old I painted “Ratfink” on the side of my car and my tee shirts, much to the chagrin of my parents and girlfriend. I started selling framed pencil drawings at art and craft shows after I got out of the Army in 1968 when I moved to Tucson AZ.
In 1979 I bought my first airbrush, which opened a whole new field for me. Two months later I did my first murals on the tailgate of a pickup truck and assorted tee shirts.
I moved to Taos New Mexico in 1980, built a solar heated home and started painting tee shirts, motorcycles, helmets, lowrider cars and pickup trucks and vans as time and opportunity permitted. My pencil drawings and airbrush fine art demonstrations were included in the first “Meet the Artist” show in Taos in 1984 and a juried show at one of the many galleries there.
Moved to Portland
Maine in 1986 and started airbrush painting full time in 2004. Member of the
Mount Washington Valley Arts Association.
