American Indian Healer

Art has always been a powerful force in my life.

Realism isn't my ultimate goal, I will let the camera take care of that aspect. I want to emphasize the magic, miracles and patterns of life and nature that are right before our eyes, the tiny things we often fail to see or take for granted.

I usually draw inspiration from nature or life's experiences. Other times I paint or sculpt without planning and the artwork flows naturally.

I'm of Celtic and American Indian descent, and a member of a state-recognized tribe.

I've had art shows throughout the years at various locations including SAC's Gallery, Auburn University at Montgomery, the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts Flimp Festival, Itz Robertz Hair Salon, The Armory Center for Arts, B. Dalton Books (Fantasy and Science Fiction Illustrations) and Books A Million (Fantasy and Science Fiction Illustrations) . Here are a few examples (all of the links will open in a separate window):
