The majority of my artwork is done on location as creative response to, and as visual record of, life being lived. Casual observers at area proprietorships and community events find me filling sketchbooks with drawings and paintings. I frequent “in the field” sites of natural beauty. My ArtSplot studio was established to show personal, colleague, and student artwork, to propogate the arts, and to foster appreciation of creating artwork. Doing art to actively market is a small priority. Creating artwork and sharing the value of doing art are a great priority.
