I am a mostly self-taught, eclectic artist. I work in oil, watercolor, acrylic and pottery. I also have experience in design, digital imaging, desktop and print production. Over the past twenty-five years, I have had numerous solo and group shows in Missouri and received several awards and accolades for my work.

I am a signature member of the Missouri Watercolor Society, member of the Sedalia Visual Art Association, Mid-Missouri Artists, the Columbia Art League, the Liberty Center Association for the Arts, Art St. Louis, Kansas City Artists Coalition and National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society.
I have worked as Associate Publisher, Art Director, and production manager for Tompson Publications. Currently, I am the Art Director and a graphic designer for Callis & Associates, Inc. in Sedalia. I also serve as Superintendent for the Fine Arts Department for the Missouri State Fair and administrator of the Missouri State Fair Fine Arts Events Committee:MO 50 Exhibition.
My work is in the collections of the Citizens Farmers Bank of Cole Camp, Phoenix Manufacturing Company, Callis & Associates, Inc., Septagon Industries, Leeson Electric and numerous private collections in Missouri, California, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, New York and Great Britain. My work is currently shown at Art Impressions Gallery in Sedalia.

I received part of my art education at State Fair Community College in Sedalia,Missouri, and have studied advanced art extensively under Douglass Freed, Paul Allen and David Fielding as well as on going studies at various area and regional workshops involving new techniques and procedures in the visual arts.
