A self-taught graphic illustrator most conveniently classified as Folk Art.

Anything and everything qualifies as a canvas. I embarked on a new project in 2005,

a sort of down-home local theatre production called Living Colors. The work

is bright and happy, fun and funky, with a semi-tropical color palette to

reflect the coastal area where I have lived since 1980.

Due to town-wide renovations, the show was canceled for 2008.

 

Born September 3, 1957 , in Easton , Pennsylvania .

Raised in the countryside of Greenville , SC with sister Becky, and brother Charles, mother Caroline, father Wayne, and dozens of adopted animals.

Our farm is now a sanctuary for the Humane Society of the United States .

 

I received 1 year Culinary training at Asheville Buncombe Tech while

working in Food Service in all capacities from 1975 - 2000

Drawn to the promise of the sea, I arrived on Hilton Head Island March,1980.

 

Happily married 19 years to marketing publicist Lynne Cope. We have 2 sons, Clark,17, and Chandler , 12. We have a hairball named Phoebe.

               

I have maintained a website for over 10 years, where recent works can been viewed. I have fostered strong relationships with all branches of the local press and media for nearly 2 decades. I go into the local schools when called upon to inspire or teach.

I have been called upon for speaking engagements at town functions. In my own stage productions I draw upon my speaking skills. In essence, as an independent artist, one must have skills in entertaining, media, social situations, accounting, the list goes on... because to make a business thrive, these will be required. I could also be classified as a Social Entrepreneur.
