CELEBRATING GOD'S WONDERS THROUGH ART
God displays amazing wonders everywhere. From the tiniest flower to the puffiest cloud, He has created it all and surrounds us with beautiful miracles. How many people ever take the time to notice these wonderful works of nature? I imagine far too few. My goal for creating this web page with my paintings is to give each visitor a glimpse and an appreciation of the beauty that is around us every day--from the awakening of the rising sun to the peace and serenity of the setting sun. If just one person learns to stop and look at the wonders God has given us, then I will have achieved my goal.
I want to give a special thanks to my friend, Vivien, who has pushed me and inspired me to start painting again. I look forward to many more painting adventures with you all around the Country, Viv!

God has given everyone some kind of talent. It is up to us to use it or not. I feel very blessed to have been given a gift of artistic talent. I already had the skill to paint even before I attended classes at the Cleveland Institute of Art, where I studied at night for 3 years. I do hope visitors will enjoy looking at my paintings. However, I am most grateful for the opportunity to see and experience the wonders of God every day.
