Alone, down on all fours, my forehead on the linoleum,
tears in the dark and You are there with me. In these private
moments I've only got You to hold me together through
my work day. You know the pain I feel, the stress...You carry me.

| About The Artist |
I am an artist of fifty-two years. My work hangs in private collections in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and New York. After studying under Keith Jacobshagen and James Eisentrager at the University of Nebraska, I earned my BFA in 1979. In this chapter of my life, two professions engage me. My work with students at the public high school is both satisfying and enables me to pursue painting. The stress load/work load is low enough to give my creative juices expression. The urge to understand dark and light patterns in nature makes me scamper about Moss Creek with my camera, do studies and refine what I have learned, configerate in the studio, and paint, paint, paint. Raised in eastern Nebraska, central Missouri is home sweet home, where my wife and family, pets and friends dwell.
