As a native of St. Petersburg, Florida and a twenty five-year resident of the mountains of Western North Carolina, I am influenced by personalities, emotions, images and colors associated with these locals which are distinctive in character and environment. I have over the years developed highly personal perceptions and highly personalized techniques. Applying all I've learned, I seek to project authentic intimate interpretations of the world as I encounter it, coast and mountain, past and present.
