about

As a child, I always enjoyed building and creating; the messier the materials, the more I loved it. I decided I was going to be an artist in high school and then completed my BA at EKU and my Master’s at Marshall University. After teaching middle school art in Maryland for 32 years, I retired to Kentucky. It is wonderful to create art almost every day, cut wood, go fishing, mountain biking, or work in the garden, whenever I want. My studio and gallery are located outside Columbia, KY, on a formerly Amish farm. “I get ideas for my work from every day experiences and from my travels to other countries.” David C. Waltz.
