Article from The Sunday Sentinel, Naccodoches, Texas, Sunday, September 30, 1973--These mermaids are 10 feet tall. The fish in the light fixture go around while moving up and down.

First to make Tiffany type lamps again on a national basis, restarting the fad.

Full time artist and sculptor.

Invited to the Edom Art festival. Below, some of what I set up with.

Stained glass, mostly Church windows made between 2000 and 2004.


Made decorative glass panels on a national basis for homes, churches, Ruby Tuesday restaurants, door companies, antique shops, etc., ultimately making 14 acres.

Recognized for my bird and flower windows, a strong visual style defined by an oval in the middle containing various nature themes.

Made and donated the Chapel windows for the new UT Tyler Health Center.

2006-Shut down the glass and decided to concentrate on pictures. Before midnight had developed the “Contraire” way of painting. Everything just jelled. I thought, “this can’t be right…maybe it’s just a freak of nature. I’ve got to do some more to see if it’s possible.” Did the 3rd or 4th one … and then…just couldn’t stop.

Below, painting a contraire.

Newspaper article from 2006 saying I are butter for 21 days so I could paint more pictures, not waste time on eating.
The house I built from the trees here, where I make my art.

House I built the old-fashioned way from the trees here with no helper. Drove every nail but one a friend said he drove, and I could never find it to pull it out. Been thinking…maybe he just pounded the board with a hammer.

Shop, or,

Want to know me? Here I am, for better or for worse.

What the other artists leave out. The love story behind the River Road picture and my Muse, how I came up with Contraire, all the bells and whistles, even my muffin recipe.
