For over twenty-five years this highly successful artist has been, through his extensive offerings of limited edition prints and originals, enriching the lives of thousands of contented patrons. We invite you to view some of his latest works.

Don grew up in the hills of West Virginia and was always fascinated by the beauty of the wildlife and scenery surrounding him. Spending most of his time out of doors it was only natural that his first works depicted birds & animals in their native habitat.

In addition to his love of nature Don has always had a deep and abiding reverence for history and the craftsmanship of our ancestors. One of his first prints was of the Genoa, a well-known old steam engine. In the early nineties Don was commissioned by American Express to paint the series of scenes from Colonial Williamsburg. A limited number of these prints were made available to the general public and are still available in a very limited quantity.

Several years ago, a friend and wildlife print collector asked Don if he would like to paint a golf course scene. This led to Don's most recent love, capturing on canvas unique and beautiful golf courses created by master designers. His first golf painting was of the infamous, par 3, 4th hole at
The Homestead's Cascades Course at Hot Springs, VA. The legendary Sam Snead graciously agreed to personally co-sign 225 of these prints. Next came an extremely limited edition of Don's paintings of the 6th hole at the prestigious Pete Dye Golf Club in Bridgeport, WV.

Proof that Don is widely accepted in the world of golf art came when he was asked to paint the
16th at Augusta National. Don was honored to have each of the 550 prints of that painting hand signed by the three legendary starters of the Masters Tournament, Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, and the late Gene Sarazen.

Don's limited edition prints are produced by the finest technology used for quality reproductions, offset lithography. While the actual printing is done by skilled craftsmen, the process is closely supervised by Don. Only the finest archival papers, canvas and inks are used. Each copy is carefully inspected by Don before he personally signs and numbers it.

For many years Don's downtown gallery in Parkersburg, WV was very popular with tourists and local patrons. Several years ago, wanting to have more time to travel and explore different painting techniques and subjects, Don closed the downtown gallery. However, Don's prints are still available by mail order and through a select group of galleries and gift shops, or by visiting Don and his wife Norma at his home studio.
