Creativity. Connection. Community.

I joined the Navy in 1983. I wanted to become a Photographer because I had been making photos since high school. I was thrilled when I got the billet out of bootcamp. I served for six years and became a freelancer. My camera equipment was stolen in the mid nineties. I became an illustrator out of frustration. The pencil gave me new life and a new way to create. I make portrait illustrations of people famous and not famous at all. All of my illustrations are based on photography. I don't sell my work but I would like to. I am still learning the business side of art.

This Memorial Day As A Combat Veteran, Chronic PTBI™ Post Traumatic Brain Injury, Not A Civilian Related Trauma as PTSD. No comparison, neither triggered under same sounds, odors, images, behaviors. I minimize my fallen comrades and those who fallen before me to throw their lives, and family sacrifice into same civilian mental box/basket as a one therapy/treatment fits all behavioral specialist. However, nothing smells, feel, tastes, hurts like combat and death of a comrade. My personal mental Anxiety not Made in the USA. Product bought & sold by overseas combat missions.

Buy your PTBI, Discount. Straits of Hormuz. Not made in America. But Supply Chain Connects to American since my 1982-83 missions. I shopped there for my PTBI, left paying decades, lay away plan, taxed & tariffed for same product gotten worse with age 24/7. PTBI is combat, PTSD is civilian. ZERO similarities.

I like to create art that inspires using scenes that we see daily. I paint on materials that are oftentimes discarded and give them a new life. I like to find beauty in the urban everyday architecture that we live with. 

Hi there! Self-taught artist here! Love working with acrylic and mixed media.

I want to create art that allows the viewer to understand what Truth can look and feel like.
