I paint on a wooden panel, then pour epoxy art resin over the painting. After the resin cures, I continue to paint. I then pour another layer of resin, cure it, and paint more. The slick resin allows me to scratch cleanly through the drying paint. I repeat the cycle several times. Look closely at the paintings.You can see the built-up layers of paint and clear resin resembling fused glass. That's what makes my artwork different. The painting has a luminous depth. The paint/resin layering technique allows you to look into the piece, not just at the surface. I graduated in fine art at the University of Louisiana in 1982, and have worked as a full-time painter, printmaker and mixed media artist for 36 years. My artwork has been collected by many individuals and corporations worldwide. Naturally my career has evolved in style, media and subject matter. Now that I'm finally mature, my current work is the finest yet!
