The Artist

I have worked as a Houston, Texas artist / illustrator for over 32 years. Original art commissioned for clients such as American Airlines, American Indemnity Insurance, SYSCO Foods, Brinker International, Tandy/RadioShack, Pennzoil, Service Corporation International, Stewart Title, Oceaneering International and Baker Hughes to name a few have allowed me to polish my skills over the years to become a well known Houston, Texas artist. Only recently have I decided to offer my illustrations for sale in the form of illustration prints or fine art giclee prints.

I grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana, an artist from the beginning, having been blessed with the natural talent for art. My practice as an artist, throughout my early school years as well as formal schooling at McNeese State University, has enabled me to create unique and original pieces of art with a variety of subject matters and mediums. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in fine arts with a major in painting and sculpture.

The Art Prints

I work in a mixture of mediums; whatever it takes to make an original and unique piece of artwork. This would include acrylics, dyes, watercolor, permanent marker, Prismacolor pencil, or pen and ink. Many of my works contain a great deal of attention to detail; the use of textures, the play of shadow and light along with subtle variations of earthy muted colors, tones and hues. Research from real life, photos and sketches help me to attain this high level of detail and realism in many of my illustration prints.

Inspiration

Many of my illustrations for sale were inspired by my personal appreciation and love of wildlife, travel, water sports, outdoors and fishing. A great fascination of sports cars and anything mechanical may explain why I strive for so much detail that is inherent in much of my artwork. Residing in Houston, Texas affords me the opportunity to spend time on the Gulf of Mexico to savor the seashore, bays, bayous, aquatic life and waterfowl that it has to offer. There is so much beauty and wonder out there in the world and in everyday life to illustrate, that I only hope I’ll be able to have the time to add to the collection of art prints for sale as often as I would like.
