SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO/WEST TEXAS

---

I am a painter who works in oils and acrylics.  Realism is my natural bent, although I sometimes deviate to impressionism and even abstract if that’s what a painting tells me that’s what it wants to be.  Considered naturally talented since childhood, I dabbled in painting in adulthood, but did not take myself seriously as an artist until November 2010 when I, by chance, became a member of a co-op art gallery.  That's when my education in art began.

My first major achievement was being juried into the regionally prestigious Arts International Exhibit, 2011.  Two years later I was the coordinator of the event that encompasses Texas/New Mexico/Chihuahua Mexico.  Since then I have become actively involved in two art communities in Las Cruces, NM and El Paso, TX, participate regularly in local open and juried shows, by which many of my paintings have gone into many private collections in more than a dozen states so far, received honorable mentions in online competitions, and  continue to work on the disciplines and skills of oil and acrylic painting as I continue to evolve.
