About the Artist
I am a self-taught artist for the most part and I took to art as soon as I was able to hold a crayon or an Etchasketch. Throughout my childhood, I developed an appreciation for my surroundings and how the 3 dimensional world translated to 2 dimensional paper. During high school, I attended the Columbus College of Art and Design on Saturdays and studied technique and design. After high school, I attended Ashland University where I discovered sculpting, painting and continued my love and pursuit of drawing.
Since college, I have continued drawing, although I don't draw as much I used to. Life, raising my son and a career in law enforcement has kept me pretty busy.
I am on Myspace and Facebook from time to time, so look me up and add me as a friend.
The two drawings below are actually pen and ink. The chair is a still-life I set up with my old Deputy Sheriff uniform shirt, Deputy's hat, duty belt and my boots. Prints of this drawing were given to retiring Deputies at the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office. I gave the original to Sgt. Tina Evans, who commissioned the drawing. The firefighter boots drawing was a still-life I set up when my grandpa Johnson passed away in 1997. He was a Fire Chief for many years in Ashland, Ohio, and I drew this the night before his funeral. They used it on the memorial leaflets at his funeral and it's etched onto his grave marker today.
