Bio

Famous artist and published writer


With my art, I send windows into the viewer’s souls to focus in new ways; to expand their world view and motivate new thought.
With art, I aim to please. I aim to show all that it is winnable; whether it is world peace, world patience, or world happiness. By creating together, we learn that patience, humbleness, and a willingness to cooperate can become a reality. All of this becomes the resolution that will bring us peace. We all want to be led to resolution, adapting to the challenges the future world presents us. This is why I paint these ‘dreams of the future’, to surround people with beauty, wear away the ugliness, and give people hope.
I grew up in Appalachia Tennessee in a family of artists, surrounded by the beauty the Big South Fork Park had to offer. From as early as I can remember, I have been creating. I attained my BA in art at Berea College.
My art has been featured in many juried art gallery shows in several states. My work has been on ESPN Sports Center and WBKO News. I have written and published eight books, two of which are art books, titled: Aspiring to Paint Like Van Gogh, and How to Paint Like Van Gogh. I have been published in magazines, newspapers, and The Business of Art. I host two websites www.derseartgallery.com and www.howtohealall.com.
