"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..."
Welcome! It is my joy and privilege to portray the wonders of God's creation. The beauty, complexity and design of nature never cease to amaze me. The inspiration for a painting begins with a personal experience of being in nature. The sights, smells, sounds (and in Florida, even the humidity!) all cry out to be portrayed. It is my hope that even a small portion of the adventure will be shared with you.
