We were all pretty busy with the guests. i brought home the ulu, ax and harpoon but left the magic mushrooms, caterpillar eats a leaf, amazon warrior and the turtle there for a month. Randall will show the exhibit by appointment for the next month. </span><br />

A Short Autobiography
concerning my Artwork</div>
<div align="CENTER" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Born in Houston in 1956. My
family lived in Aldine. We moved to Spring in 1966, where I graduated
from Spring ISD in 1974. After several years of work in the
petrochemical industry as a pipefitter, welder and pressure vessel
fitter I was able to get an office job as an autocad
drafter/estimator in 1999. By 2005 I found that I missed working with
my hands. I bought some equipment to use at home. 2010 found me laid
off from my last job after 11 yrs of service. I felt called to work
from my heart rather than for another company.
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I've never been happier than
I am now. I produce 3D representational plants and animals, wall
hangings and a few abstracts. Most are flame painted with protective
layers of clear coat. Also, some of which I keep for myself and use,
functional knives, axes, tools and weapons, in a primitive style. I
do all my work outdoors. Almost all the inspiration comes from being
out in the woods, fields and on the water.</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
It is my desire to evoke a
feeling of connection with Life and Nature and to share it with
others.</div>
