Mailbox and Shotgun

MEDIUM Acrylic

My art is a reflection of my past, present, and a combination of both. From the days of old in rural south in the town of Belcher, Louisiana, to my college days in Mississippi, you’ll see the heart of my works. It’s why I gravitate between these contrasting styles...mixing them both at times.

After a 28+ year hiatus after breaking both wrists in a motorcycle accident, I find joy and peace to finally paint again. It was my son Austin, who is also an artist, that gave me the inspiration to pick up the brushes again. This arduous adventure has given me the opportunity to put his journey back to visual arts on canvas, and on paper.

I consider myself a “nostalgic expressionist” as I delve between rural and abstract interpretations.
