Hi! It is good to see you today, I hope that God has blessed you something wonderful.
Let me tell you a little about myself. I was born in Detroit Michigan some bla bla years ago and I always love to draw.
Sometime around the third grade I realize that I had something special and different. When I was coloring in a coloring book at school I took it a bit further than any of the other children not only did I color in the rabbit I drew in grass and trees and clouds etc. Boy have I traveled since then.
I have drawn hundreds of portraits of people and pets, some just every day folk and some very notable. Don't worry I drew and painted everyone with equal amounts of love.
My art teachers in elementry school was great my 5th grade teacher told my parents that I was gifted and talented I did not know what those words ment at the time but I figured that they was somthing special, this is why I say that the success of our children is in the power of the tongue.
Now I am a professional artist. I have traveled through the years showing and selling my work in the United States and Canada, oh I also been seen in Germany and I think that I have a few peices of art in Japan. I have been in art shows together with some of the most famous artist in the world Paul Goodnight, the late William Toliver, James Spearman, Habiba Owens, Gregory Price and Raymond Cody and a lesson or two from my friend the late Carl Owens. As a self taught artist his wisdom was valuable to me, for Mr. Owens filled in a few missing peices.
In 1996 I took on a pet portrait commision and a door was open for me, I had a ability that many artist did not have, the ability to draw fine details rather quickly in front of dozens of people. I love for people to watch me draw.
Anyway, I help illustrate 2 books and I was commisioned to do the Merriot Hotels Chrismas card I even done a few murals, three in the Malcolm X Academy back in 1993 and countless other special commisions over the years. Yes and many many dogs, cats, horses and yes even a rabbit. Ofcourse there are a lot more things that I am very proud of like teaching art to people of all ages.
I thank God for being a artist and I thank God for you, please enjoy the art and be well.
Just click on the Art Show and Events page to see where I am next. So thanks for reading my friends and remember life is to short, so go fishing and buy some art.
