I am a member of the Columbus Artists' Guild, two-time president of the Phenix City Arts Council, a member of the Plein Air Painters of Georgia and Calloway Plein Air Painters. I got started when my Grandmother showed me the way with my first oil painting in 1972.
I started in Photography in 1977 in the Army as a unit photographer where I provided photo stories for 'The Wheel' a local Army newspaper. I took up the brush agian in 1986 with my wife Claudia in Flowery Branch ,GA.
