My art is a reflection of my life in southern Louisiana and of my career as a professional police officer and S.W.A.T. team commander. 
 

     I received my art education from the University of Southwestern Louisiana with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in 1975, and from Louisiana State University with a Masters of Fine Arts in 1977.
 
     Following a family "law enforcement" tradition, I have served the public for over twenty-five years with the Baton Rouge and New Iberia Police Departments. 

     I consider myself a contemporary realist and like working with pencil and freehand airbrush for the photographic "soft edge" quality of the media. I also like drawing with pen & ink because of the self-discipline inherent in its use.

     Since my retirement, in 2003;  I have been accepted into 169 regional, national, and international juried art shows and have received 62 awards in those exhibitions.
