Welcome to my Artevangel website . I have always had a creative side as far back as my childhood, drawing or just playing with a stick in the dirt . In grammar school i didn't gravitate to the basics of learning . I found out i was color blind in the 4th grade .

I doodled quite a bit. Along came 7th grade and my first crafts class. I didn't care much for the construction paper, i found myself drawing on it instead . Favoring the Pencil .

I made my 1st water color painting then, still gravitating toward the pencil . Along came 9th grade then my 1st. Art class . My teacher had an big impact on my creative nature. Back in the day schools had Metal shop, Ceramics, Electronics, Wood shop. I took all of them. 

​

  In the Army i designed a Tee shirt for Our Troop in basic training, Over seas I painted and designed a sign that hung above the barracks door. Also a mural  on the entrance wall, military related of course . Back state side, in Our Great Nation USA. Things slowed down for me . Then i met my, Beautiful wife. I saw a magazine, with AIS, draw Tippy the Turtle . I had received a very encouraging letter from AIS (art instruction schools). I took the  Home Correspondences Course. I had completed 16 out 26 lessons. Broke my wrist, set me back for years.

​

  I started drawing again, self taught from this point forward. Another set back, I had to recover from surgery .....some how I lost 20 years . Then came Acrylic, also Oil painting.........still a learning curve today, while growing as an artist. I hope you enjoy my art and the creative side of taking a little piece of my art with you. Thanks for your time be encouraged in your life journey . My Inspiration comes from above, every time i see a sunrise or sunset, I often think to myself the Master Artist has His Paintbrushes Out again.
