About Me

My photo
I began drawing and painting at a very young age and knew early on that I would choose art for my life. I achieved success early on in high school and college in the arts, but after college, I felt compelled to a career in ministry and have spent many fulfilling years helping others find their purpose in life. Through the years, I continued to paint mostly for enjoyment and as an outlet, but in 2007, I realized that an important part of my own life-purpose was creating and painting. The internet, which of course was not available 25 years ago, is such a useful tool for artist, opening doors and providing exposure that would otherwise not be possible. With this new opportunity, I have been pursuing painting and marketing my art whole heartily, usually painting on a daily basis. I live in Tucson, love to jeep, love to paint and study art, and my paintings are often inspired from some remote mountain location in the high desert.

King of the Hill - Gabor Svagrik Workshop


As an artist, I am very aware that "I haven't arrived" yet, or for that matter, ever will. I am a learner, knowing that there are always others who are ahead of me and can help me - I am a teacher, knowing there are always others not as far along as me who could benefit from where I am at. Gabor Svagrik is one of those way out ahead of me. I attended a workshop put on by the Tucson Art Academy in June and tried to soak in all that Gabor so willingly offered. This small painting was painted during the workshop. I still hear his voice echoing in my head "Values, Values, Values - Simplicity, Simplicity, Simplicity - Think Dark to Light...". Thanks, Gabor, for your role as "teacher" in helping me take a step forward - And thank-you for so graciously sharing your talent as "artist". - Jeff
This painting is 10X8 and titled "King of the Hill". SOLD
