"I was born in St. Charles, Missouri on July 1st. 1948. I was raised and went to school in Rolla, Missouri. I drew a lot as a child and never stopped (never stopped being a child either). Drawing for me has always come easy and I started before I started school. I won an art scholarship upon graduation from high school but like a dummy I turned it down and went into the Navy. At the time it was better than going to Nam. So, now I only draw as a hobby and lately just for fun. I’ve had many one man shows across the U.S. and have participated in many juried shows across the U.S. also. Lately I’ve done neither but spend my time drawing fantasy art. I pretty much like to draw anything, everything and will most of the time. Fantasy however is my first real love and has been for a very long time now. Nudes are right up there too. I quess when you get older nudes are alot more fun to do. So I do alot of them...guess it's a man thing. Or...maybe it could be the fact that I think the female body is the most beautiful thing ever created and I sing to it's beauty through my art. Either that or I am a pervert like my wife thinks.(Ha)"
