There’s something, a little beauty, in every moment even if it’s just sitting on your back porch.
Just call me “G.”
As a 25-year Navy veteran turned government contractor, I’ve come to seriously expressing myself as a visual artist a little later in life, but I’ve always loved art. I’ve been different people, done many things, been lots of places, but everything comes back full circle. You just know what fits. So, here we go; a brave new journey.
I love the small things; those details that make up those everyday moments, and I love, love, love color! Beauty is everywhere, and I want to breathe life into those moments.
I am most happy with a brush in my hand, messy hair, paint everywhere, and good music going in the background. A lifelong learner and perpetual student, my visual arts journey includes the use of various media with oil painting my current focus. I don’t always know where I’m going, but I am enjoying the journey.
Thank you so much for visiting!
