"In A Silent Way"
 

I can remember as far back as ten years old drawing pictures of birds, trees and anything that caught my eye. I spent many summers vacationing from Illinois to Maine to the Carolinas. As I grew older, my love for the coast grew stronger. I am pleased to be living in a coastal community with my wife Kathe and son Walter. It is at this point in my life that I get to meet not only folks from this area but others to discuss our passions for this beautiful part of the world.  This is truly an inspiring town with it's natural beauty and the refreshing personalities that make Carteret County what we all desire.

I received a degree in commercial art and advertising from Guilford Technical Institute. Although the degree has allowed me to broaden my knowledge of the print media, I have found painting to be my favorite outlet and paint as often as I can.

I have painted scenes from dirt tracks to baseball parks, but have found myself absorbed in coastal and seafaring themes. I truly enjoy the coastal atmosphere.

No matter what the subject may be, my goal is to create on canvas a time or moment that makes us stop, look, absorb and move again with more fulfillment than when our journey started.
