I'm a representational artist currently living in Collegedale, TN. For the past 17 years I have had the privilege to be commissioned to paint numerous portraits for private colectors throughout the United States, Canada and Latin America. I have participated along other muralists in several public art projects around the Chicago and Chattanooga area. For many years I volunteered my artistic and anatomical skills to develop several composite sketches (composite imagery) for the Chicago Police Department (CPD). In late 2010 I relocated to Collegedale with my family. Since then I've been involved with my community by offering classes, workshops and demos from my home-studio. I'm an art facilitator for Mark Making, an organization that uses public art projects to empower individuals and together help transform our communities. In 2013 I volunteered in the restoration of the Historic Engel Stadium outfield walls after the movie "42" honoring Jackie Robinson was filmed. Since the Fall of 2013 I been working as an Adjunct Faculty at Lee University in Cleveland, TN where I teach basic and advance classes in drawing, painting and figure drawing.
