Skip received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in pottery.  He was a studio potter for 3 decades and taught at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi for 21 years.  He is published in Ceramics Monthly and The Crafts Reports, and has been included in articles from House Beautiful, Mississippi Magazine, and Studio Potter.  So, what is his connection with digital art?

Skip got his first computer in 1984 and began playing with graphics and desktop publishing as a hobby.  He started using CorelDraw in the late eighties, but didn’t discover Corel Painter X until a couple of years ago.  Since that discovery, Skip has immersed himself in Painter taking many on-line classes.  He was a member of the Beta team for Painter 11, and the experience helped further develop his knowledge of the software.

“I love to teach;” Skip remarks, “I find that it is a wonderful sharing experience.  Skip is looking forward to sharing his knowledge of Painter 11 with those anxious to learn Painter and the digital creative process.
