A St. Louis native, I have been interested in painting, photography, sculpture my whole life. As the son of a Master Portrait Photographer, I learned early the importance of lighting & framing to make important elements stand out. My favorite childhood haunt was the St. Louis Art Museum.
I paint using multiple styles and techniques. I take many photos during my travels to stimulate ideas for my paintings and drawings.
Bachelor’s Degree of Science.
