Summary


Though I am self taught several artists have inspired my work. Moran’s and Russell’s background colors on my Westerns have greatly improved my paintings. Mike Larson’s Indians inspired me to paint Indians. I have enjoyed painting them since.Georgia O’keefe’s composition and techniques make my florals unforgettable. Lastly along with Georgia’s love for larger than life paintings, I have noticed my paintings gradually getting larger and bolder.
