Similar to cooking, your art really is dependent on the supplies (or ingredients) you use. I figured I would write a little about my favorite supply stores in Charlotte. And also: SUPPLIES!! It’s the second week in a row that I’ve posted on this blog. ...

Prologue: I’m going to be completely honest: it’s been a crazy decade. I really wished I had more time to spend on developing more works, but I am very blessed to be where I am at today even though there have been very difficult months and years. ...

Sorry EVERYONE. I have been rather bad about posting and keeping the website up-to-date. Sad to say that my last post was almost a year ago. 2015 was a great year…. It just went by too fast and I did not get as much art/painting done as promised. I finally...

In the past couple of months I have been lucky to partake in two painting classes. The growing popularity of these “paint while drinking” classes is pretty amazing to me, especially in the Charlotte area. Coincidentally enough, both classes I attended...
