Auto-biography:

Originally from Western Kentucky, I live in Paducah where I teach basic drawing classes, life drawing, portfolio development and introduction to art at the Paducah School of Art and Design.  On the side, I teach for the Kentucky Institute for International Studies at West Kentucky University taking Kentucky students to Italy, Paris, and Costa Rica for digital photography and drawing classes.

Artist Statement

My recent large scale, realistic charcoal drawings are auto-biographical

narratives exploring many themes as I get older: personal relationships, family relationships, failing and

reconnecting memory, dementia, abandonment, domestic violence all drawn in the flavor of surrealism and sometimes religious themes set in modern dream-like scenarios. Shape repetition and circles appear in my

drawings to isolate specific areas, suggest halos and enhance the design. All drawings are created through a

toned paper process and created in layers of varying charcoals, white conté and erasing.
