Introduction	I started out working for a company from Disney doing pastel portraits when I was 14. All my friends were airbrushing T-shirts on the beach so I got into that. I spent over 20 years airbrushing one thing or another...( motorcycles, vans, illustrations) left the beach and went to work at Disney in Orlando for a year. I then moved to Tulsa Ok to attend school. While in Tulsa I studied oil painting and relief sculpture with artist Herb Robb. As an illustrator I worked for Euro Disney doing reliefs for their opening, Bass Masters fishing show animation, Oral Roberts Ministries, Terry Law Ministries, Oklahoma Tourism, Pizza Hut, etc etc.. I’ve been blessed by being allowed to work with some of the best people, and meet some great artist. I certainly enjoy when I do a piece that turns out well. But I enjoy just as much looking at good art by others. It’s a wonderful thing to see someone else’s vision.
