Art has been a passion of mine since I was a child growing up in England.  I was incouraged at an early age by my teachers and parents.  I took private art lessons as well as enrolling in Art Instruction Schools while in junior high school.   I received an A.A.S. degree in art in 1978.   I majored in art and graduated with a B.A. with honor in art education from the University of Wyoming in 1980.  Since that time, I have taught privately including several adult education classes in drawing and painting at a local college.  Most of my art up till now has been in the form of portait commissions.  In the past several years, I have shown and sold my art in shows for charities.   My artwork resides in private collections throughout the United States, Great Britian and Mexico.
