Art has been a part of my life ever since as a child when I first used my brother's Jon Gnagy Learn to Draw set.   As a teen, I started learning the wet-on-wet technique* as taught by William Alexander on TV in the 1980s and later by Bob Ross. Art was put on hold while in college and as my wife and I raised our four children, changed jobs and relocated.  In the late 80s,  I picked up my brushes again, re-learning how relaxing and fun it is.  I love doing landscape and wildlife art. My goal is to establish myself as a small group instructor in the wet-on-wet technique.  I earned my landscape teaching certification from the Bob Ross Company in 2020 and just earned my wildlife teaching certificate in 2024.   I am also a Wilson Bickford Painting Partner.  I have over 30-years experience teaching adults.
