About the Artist

I have had a love of different art forms since my mid-twenties. The Ancient Art of Scrimshaw, India Ink paintings on wood, and Copper Foil Stained Glass were some areas that I dabbled in. I consider myself a self- taught artist due to only taking a few art classes. Lifestyle changes, moving from Illinois to Colorado and raising three boys altered my art. Then I had the opportunity to tour the Yule Marble Quarry. I traded my regular canvas for this stunning pure white marble. It has allowed me to expand into my “Art on Marble” using all aspects of this beautiful stone. My favorite subjects for oil painting include wildlife and the scenic mountain beauty of Colorado and the desert raw picturesque areas of Arizona. These places give me some phenomenal subject matter. My marble comes from the Yule Marble Quarry located in the majestic high mountains of Marble, Colorado. Here, our nation acquired this pure marble for well-known national monuments. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and The Lincoln Memorial. In Arizona, the Mohave County Court House in Kingman also contains this wonderful white marble along with many other monuments. The Yule Marble Quarry is considered to have the highest quality in the world. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to show my art on this magnificent stone. Each piece is completed with “Dammar Varnish” to preserve my creativity and for all to enjoy in years to come.
