“In late 2014 everything changed. A dinner party, where our host, unbeknownst to me, was an artist, an oil painter with the grandest of studios, and incredible original oil paintings covering the walls of her home. What started as a dinner party, for me was an immersion into a world I so much wanted. By the end of the evening, with the encouragement of my amazing wife, I committed myself to taking my very first formal oil painting class that very next week.” “Taking classes was very intimidating. I felt out
of my depth and had no idea what I was doing. I could always draw, but using oil paint was a whole new experience.”
