Who is the Artist

I was always told I was born with a crayon in my hand. As I was growing up in Houston, Texas, I was influenced by the beautiful paintings of my great aunt and the stunning oil paintings of Larry Dyke, a family friend and successful artist. Their influence inspired me to begin painting with oils in high school. Over the past two decades I have benefited from participating in workshops with other professional artists, buying and viewing instructional videos on the process of painting, and reading art books and magazines, continually learning and improving my techniques. As I gain this wealth of knowledge, I find joy in sharing it with others. In 2003 my wife and I embarked on the adventure of homeschooling when our first child turned six. Homeschooling has given me the opportunity to teach my children fine art as well as other local home school students. Seeing the children accomplish beautiful, award-winning paintings is very rewarding as their teacher! My intent is that wwwFineArtExperience.com is a place where like-minded families can come together and enjoy the course of learning art and develop the skills that naturally come through the process.
