A Message from the Artist

"Thank you for visiting my new site and for reading this message."

"In the Appalachian mountains of North Georgia, you will find some of my favorite things ... mountain scenery, fly fishing, horses, old Norman Rockwell style small towns, and some great fine art!  And of course, the food that makes the South famous ~ great homemade fudge, macaroni and cheese, fried mountain brook trout, and some of the best sweet tea you will ever taste!"

The best part of living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia are the genuinely nice people you will meet.  It is why Christine and I chose it as our home.  It is the place where I draw my inspiration and work to reproduce it faithfully."

"I hope that you will find the emotional comfort that I visualize when I interpret the things that are so important to me."  "Images of the past, a simpler time...my youth...changing seasons, place and people whose visual stories capture a magical moment in my mind's eye."

"Every time I lay my brush to the canvas, my goal is to capture a spark of emotion that you have had, or have kept stored away in your mind's eye for safe keeping."
