I live in the Central Texas area and paint fine art in oil.  I love to paint figures, portraits and still life.  Much of my art learning experience has been in small group or seminars.  I have studied under professional private art instructors – both live in a classroom, outdoors (plein air)  and live online.  The live internet experience has allowed me to experience mentorship with professional and well known artists from other countries around the world.   After earning a degree in finance and business, I am blessed to be able to pursue my passion in life — painting in oil.
