Artist Biography
As a young boy I found I had a "knack" for art. I didn't feel
that I had some special talent; I was just able to draw what
I looked at. I started taking art classes in Jr. High and began learning technique and saw my artwork improve. I continued
taking art through high school and on into college where I was
an art major. At this time in my life I worked primarily in
pen & ink, my desire to add life and color to my work led me to discovering Prismacolor colored pencils. After leaving college
early to enter the work force my medium of choice was colored pencil. I continued off-and-on to work in the medium for about
10 years and gradually stopped doing any artwork at all. After
about 15 years away I was motivated to pick up my pencils
again by viewing some of my old work hanging in my father’s
home. A web search led me to an online community for artists.
I began to view other colored pencil artists work and was
amazed at what I saw. They had taken the medium to a much higher level than I thought was possible. I began to study their work and techniques. By applying these new techniques I am seeing my work greatly improve. I am learning and growing with each piece I complete.
