Once I was just a wish and then I was chosen.  At the time I was born, society found it unacceptable to be sixteen, unwed and pregnant.  My biological mother felt she had no choice but to put me up for adoption.  When my new parents, Williard and Ruth, adopted me, I developed permanent stars in my eyes.  They made me feel very special because they consciously chose me to be their son.  So I thank my lucky stars for both of them and what they did for me.  As a constant reminder of their love and kindness and to show my love for them, I add my "lucky stars" to all my artwork.

When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly!  I feel I have led a blessed life and at times have been taught to fly when life has given me less than solid ground.  Over the years my work and life have had divine direction through my family, friends and the events of my daily life.

In my studio in Burlington, Kentucky I create unique home furnishings.  As a full time artist who is a member of the National Association of Independent Artists, the Furniture Society, and Kentucky Crafted, I take great pride in creating my unique artwork.  Each piece contains electric lights placed at various intervals in a highly refractive chamber to create sculptured light tunnels or as one might say "my lucky stars."  Since my work is constantly evolving, the materials are also evolving.  Sometimes I use wood, stainless or aluminum, but always lights.

My work is my way of sharing my blessings and my "lucky stars" with you!
