I am proud to be from a place where so much talent has sprouted from oil and rice fields and drainage ditches—Beaumont, Texas—a shady, stinky corner of the state that shares a tendency to mildew with its close neighbor, Louisiana.     Naturally, I have made idols out of the likes of big- time artists John Alexander, Paul Manes, Robert Rauschenberg (Port Arthur), photographer Keith Carter, writer Mary Karr (Groves), dead singer Janis Joplin (Port Arthur), and a terrific wealth of other-worldly-gifted, interesting characters not famous, but just as unbalanced.    

 

     I specialize in the hand-made, hand-painted, hand-drawn, and hand-crafted.  As a practitioner, I land somewhere between a Dutch Master and a Dutch Masters cigar.  Typically, my style is a bit "Mary Engelbreit meets Mary Shelley", but I am capable of behaving myself.  

 

    Thank you for stopping by to visit my site.  Your wandering and gandering are much appreciated and always welcome !
