Wayne became a well known portrait artist in early 1990's.
He commissioned portraits from patrons who visited the
Abe Martin Lodge in The Brown County State Park, where
he frequently set up in the lobby to demonstrate his art.

Later he opened a small business in Shelbyville Indiana,
(known as the Cabinet Barn today).Where the latest of his paintings are currently
displayed.

Wayne  can spend hundreds of hours per painting but has
finished a complete portrait in three hours.
It's his way of relaxation and claims painting gives him a sense of
purpose.


Oil paintings created and maintained properly can last hundreds
of years. I would like to think that my paintings will be enjoyed
for many generations.


Thank you for supporting my work.

Thank you
