Born in San Antonio Texas in 1973 on New Years Eve. I was brought up in a military family that relocated every 3 years. I lived in Germany age 6 through 9 and traveled pretty extensively in surrounding countries and was introduced to museums in those countries and was where I decided to pursue art as a way of life at 9.  That is also the day I saw the Mona Lisa and decided to figure out why it didn’t sit right with me that it was the most famous painting in the world.   After 31 years I have developed a solid idea on why and how it was not a painting by Leonardo.

I graduated from SCAD in 1996 with a major in illustration and a minor in art history.   Since then I have been working primarily in a freelance arena until 2011 where I started working at Landmark Christian School in Fairburn, Georgia,  where 2 years ago I became a full time employee and I am now on the Fine Arts end of things so my everyday focus is on making art or helping others make art.

I founded the Solomon Endowment which will be a non profit organization that helps build a fine arts facility at Landmark and will have a museum that houses my collection.   In addition,  my invention, Advertobiles, will eventually create a large income,  90% of which will be given away through the Solomon Endowment to build and maintain the fine arts center, add to the art museum, and build it into a competitive collection in our region.  After the fine arts center is on the road to success,  the endowment will support other christian organizations with fine art.  The endowment will also support an artist incubator to help chosen artists create art without being held back by the expense of doing so.

We now have a son in the picture who seems to enjoy staring at the art around the house so hopefully he will desire to carry the batton for the family after we are gone.
