I live in St Louis, Mo where I have lived all my life except for the years I was in the military. I am a former Marine, spent most of my duty in Southern California working on F/A-18 Hornets.

After the military, I came back to St Louis to take care of my Dad after surgury and ended up getting a job working on UNIX servers. So I never did make it back to Long Beach CA to live like I had planned

I got interested in Encaustic Art after a friend of mine bought a painting off ebay. I thought it was really amazing - the depth of detail and the fullness of the colors really appealed to me.

I decided to give it a try and discoved that I really enjoy it a lot. Then to my utter amazment I found out that other people seemed to really like my artwork.

So I posted a couple pieces up for sale on ebay and they sold. I have been doing this every since and I love it.

I am now doing various art & craft shows so if your in the area, stop by and say "Hi!" and take a look at my work - photographs and scans just can't do justice to Encaustic Art.
