“[I played] football for LSU from 1968 to 1971. I was the first-string center for the football team in the 1970 and 1971 seasons. The three years following graduation in 1972, I did portraits of the senior players that were in a last-page inside-cover foldout of the football program for three seasons. Other than the program foldouts, I did not pursue LSU artwork until I returned to Baton Rouge in 1987. But then it became one of my many passions.”

“I started doing LSU art in 2007. I created the Fleur de Tigré for LSU at that time. The response was overwhelming, and I truly was fueled to do more LSU-related art. I became a collegiate licensed artist. LSU fans are the best supporters of what I love and do every day. My passion for Louisiana shows through in every piece I paint.”

“There are so many interesting things about the LSU culture. I just really enjoy creating artwork that captures it. The subject matter is endless. I’ve done everything from whimsical scenes of tailgating to realistic watercolor paintings of famous football plays, including a 2007 Football National Championship painting.”

“There’s just something about being at craft shows and at football games, set up in a tent with my art. It’s always such a good atmosphere, and it’s a feeling like none other when a person walks into your tent and you can talk for minutes on end about LSU football.”
