Years serving my country as an LDS military chaplain has afforded me the blessing of helping my brothers and sisters work through both trauma and celebration. Coupled with a master’s in divinity and a doctorate centered on PTSD, I learned how powerful art can be in helping people deal with suppressed trauma. After my retirement from the Navy, I began studying art under Del Parson and McGarren Flack, which has opened a new world to me in both self-expression and personal healing. I love painting in oil and in a mix of both realism and contemporary mild cubism.
