About Me

It’s been said that most people will have three major careers in their life. I’m now into my fourth. Following a tour in the military in the early 70’s I worked a number of day jobs, and went to school at night. No real direction, just testing the water. It was during this period that I discovered soaring, and spent most of my summer weekends flying sailplanes. The lure of aviation became so strong that I decided to put the academic world on hold, and entered technical school. Two years later... more

Hey Neil!! Glad to see you. How is Karen? I have moved so I don''t get your gallery cards anymore. I need to email Karen my new address or I should call Twin House and change it with them too. Tell her I said HI and that I miss her! Lisa

I have followed your work and find it endlessly intriguing. Thank you

Kathy Lumsden - 9/1/2008 2:55:00 AM

Neil, first of all, I would like to say that I think that your work is outstanding. I enjoy your paintings very much. I had no idea until I read your profile that you and Karen were RN''s. How interesting! I''ve been an RN for 24 years, and work in an ICU in Birmingham. Even after working 12 hour shifts, I''m never too tired to paint a little before bed. Your story in very inspiring!

Your realism is amazing! You make such beautiful art out of objects most people would not look at twice.

WR Jones - 10/9/2008 8:22:00 PM

What you do does not really seem possible. How on earth do you make these objects look so good?
