What moment in your career do you look back most fondly on?

I’ve had many proud moments in my career beginning with receiving my Master of Fine Arts degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Cranbrook is the top graduate school for Visual Art in the country, sometimes characterized as the “Julliard” of visual art schools. With a maximum annual enrollment of 150 graduate students, getting into Cranbrook is a highly selective process.

I have been extremely proud of bringing George Ortman (my mentor from Cranbrook) and Don Eddy, (an internationally famous airbrushing photo-realist artist whom I met at Blossom-Kent Art Program) to Texas A&M University-Commerce (formerly East Texas State University) as Visiting Artists.

I am proud to have been associated with the Lizardi Harp Gallery in Los Angeles for nearly years. Grady Harp, the Director, has been a pioneer in fearlessly exhibiting and promoting artists who work with the male nude in their artworks.

I am proud of receiving a National Endowment for the Arts/Mid-America Arts Alliance Fellowship in Painting in 1994. This Fellowship allowed me to travel extensively in Europe to study ancient Greco-Roman sculpture which has been a passion of mine since grade school, and which has played a significant role in my painting imagery.

I am proud of receiving fellowships to several art colonies over the years. I have twice been a resident at the Virginia Center for the Creative Art at Sweet Briar, Virginia. I have been a resident at Cummington Community for the Arts at Cummington, Massachusetts, and at the Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, Vermont. I have also been a Visiting Artist/Visiting Scholar at the American Academy in Rome for two month-long residencies.

But perhaps the achievement of which I am most proud is that earlier this year I was notified by the International Society of Acrylic Painters that for the first time they had designated seven painters around the world, who are members of that society, as Signature Master Painters and I was fortunate to be included in that group.
