About Me

I have been a Published songwriter for over 30 years. I worked for Studio in the Country for 15 years and later became an artist (Painter) which I now pursue along with my music. I've had my songs done by artists such as Clarence Gatemouth Brown and Memphis Slim. I also did the soundtrack for a movie "The Player". On the art front I designed and painted the artwork for the 2007 Telluride Blues Festival. I do contemporary art in a style I call Facescapes. I do commissions and sell my work so if you are interested in buying one or more contact me on this site. Examples of my style can be found in the Photo section.
