Born in the 40's in rural
western Tennessee, the artist had no formal training until he met
fellow artist Wade Reynolds who encouraged him to pursue a career
in art.The first few years he painted scenes of early Los Angeles
which was commisioned by Security Pacific National Bank, and the
law firm of O'Melveny and Myers. Some time after he became involved
in figurative drawing and painting and his precise technique soon
attracted collectors throughout southern California. He is best
known for his super-realistic drawings and paintings of male and
female Nudes.
