ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My artwork is generally called technical/ realism, which means it is inspired by a personal experience
with the real subject. My drawings are a heartfelt expression of how the experience made me feel.
When I draw the subject, I try to clarify or emphasize those feelings. I enjoy a variety of subjects
within a series of portfolios grouped as Biblical truths,
Native American life, and Kentucky. I am also interested in subjects relating to the
American South, especially southern history, and their meaning in contemporary life.
