I love to paint. I also love to talk and brainstorm about art, religion, books I haven't gotten around to finishing, and generally everything else except sports (unless it's kung fu).

I was born and raised in Arizona on Jesus and cartoons, but am only now beginning to realize, after many beardless years, what that means and how those three things affect my art.

Up until very recently I never made any art about Jesus. Now that I am, I've been supplementing my painting exhibitions with Jesus-based puppet shows, such as the shows I've been doing since 2010, such as lats year's HOLY FOOL?. That's an even more recent development.

I also teach art classes, and love to talk about color mixing and figure drawing most especially.

Thanks for letting me have the opportunity to talk about myself.
