About
I am passionate about finding ways to help students improve their art skills. It's exciting for me to mold the talents of both younger and older artist who are eager to learn.
I've worked in the professional illustration and design industry for over 25 years and have mentored young talent during that time.
However, my passion is drawing and painting.
I have won numerous awards, been represented by one of Atlanta's premier realists galleries, and my work is in private and university collections throughout the southeast.
