Lexington, KY
I started painting around the age of 12: I loved Bob Ross when I was younger. I still remember the smell of linseed oil being new and strange, now it smells like life. I seem to need my subject right in front of me ... I hate working from photos.
Born and raised in MO, studied at MSU in MO and NYSS in NY. Resident of Bloomington, IN from 2001-2018, moved to Lexington, KY in June 2018.
I try to paint everything, absolutely everything, that occurs to me to paint to see if it will work or not .. pile of pictures/parallel life.
