The
artist/author was born in rural,
North Carolina. His interest in the visual arts developed
early when he attempted to duplicate a drawing which his older brother had
brought home as a school assignment. While attending public school there, he was
also exposed to the power of books and the written word. These
experiences later inspired him to pursue writing as well as the visual
arts. As an author/illustrator, he self published
his first children’s book in 2006, entitled “The Adventures of Joey
Zee.” His second children’s title; “O’ Mista’
Whadda’ Wata’ Bug!” was published in 2009. He has since gone on to publish two children's e-books; to include, "Little Carly; The American White Pelican" and "Picky Patty and the Party of One" (all under the pseudonym; W. O. Wainwright). As a self taught commissioned artist; his
life’s work covers a span of over 30 years. And while he has worked with
a number of different mediums in this time, today he prefers to work
with acrylics, tempera and oils on canvas or velvet. As an illustrator, he is an active member of
the Society of Children’s Book Writers / Illustrators and Writers Guild of America, East.
