From a young boy growing up in Southern Ohio, my love of nature and its wonderous beauty has consumed me. I hope with every creative piece that I make, I am able to capture the spirit and essence of the animal that I portray in a painting or sculpture. I have a Masters degree from the University of Georgia in Sculpture and Printmaking and was a college professor at various universities.  I now reside in Granbury, TX with my wife, 4 dogs and 2 cats.
