My Art by Mouth Gallery at the Jacksonville Landing
My art gallery is literally my home away from home. All my life, I've always Dreamed and Hoped for my own personal Fine Art Gallery in a place where I feel welcome and able to show my gifts or talents, and meet so many people from all over the world.
The Jacksonville Landing is such a place. Located right along the St. Johns River, in the center of downtown Jacksonville, FL. I feel it is truly one of the best places to have a gallery in northeast Florida.
Being a disabled artist, using my Diff-Ability painting by the only way I physically can and that’s by actually using only my MOUTH ! is truly a Blessing. I love showing off my abilities, especially in the field of art. There's part of my heart and soul in every single painting I create. Even though it may take me longer to put down every single stroke than the average artist, I know that extra time is releasing my soul onto the canvas. This art is from my heart, and I have to just let it out. When I go a couple of days without painting, It feels as if my mind is getting stuffed for an overloaded of feelings and I start to feel emty for not sharing my thoughts on canvas.
Being right next door to the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts, (which is where I first met Peggy now my wife) plus! less than two blocks from one of my favorite places the (M.O.C.A.) Museum of Contemporary Art. Additionally I'm centrally located between several high-end hotels, which supports many business meetings and conventioneers from all over the country right to my gallery door.
From North Florida and around the United States, millions of people enjoy The Jacksonville Landing's festive mix of shops, restaurants and eateries and its hundreds of entertainment events annually. The Jacksonville Landing has strong local support with over 65,000 downtown office workers and over 1,000,000 residents in the surrounding area.
The Landing is also one of the best visitor attractions in the city attracting a large share of the 5.18 million visitors that come to Jacksonville.
I am also only blocks away from the Prime F. Osborn Convention Center, once the nation's largest railway station.
So I just want to thank the kind and great people of the Jacksonville Landing for allowing me in having and keeping this dream of owning my own fine art gallery in the best spot of downtown Jacksonville, Florida.

All my life, I've always wanted and Hoped for my own personal Fine Art Gallery, and a place where I feel creative and able to show off my Art. Plus meet so many people from all over the world.

Being a disabled artist using my own Diff-Ability, which is painting by the only by way I physically can and that’s by my MOUTH!, is truly a blessing. I love showing off my different abilities, (hence the word Diff-Ability} especially in the field of art.
There's part of my heart and soul in every single painting I create. Even though it may take me longer to put down every single stroke than the average artist, I know that extra time is releasing my soul onto the canvas. This art is from my heart, and I have to just let it out. When I go a couple of days without painting. It feels as if my mind is getting low to an overloaded with feelings and I start to explode for not sharing my thoughts on canvas.

So many Paintings to Share, Sell !
I have been painting for as long as I can remember, this has led to tens of thousands of drawings and paintings, most of which were sold across the country, doing as many arts and craft shows in convention centers plus shopping malls as I physically could do. After passing over the 450 different events and art shows I literally lost track of how many more of these art shows and fundraisers I have participated in. So it is safe to say. I've been in over 700 shows within 45 of the 50 states of America.
As I am getting older and my body cannot do as much as it used to, (which was very little anyway.) I am actually enjoying traveling less. But yet, having an art gallery that seems to provide clients and tourists from all over the world to watch me paint by mouth plus talk with me about my life’s obstacles and accomplishments. This usually leads to the opportunity of uplifting each other.. Yes, most of the people I meet uplifts me as much or even more than I have uplifted them. I get this great responsibility to share my God-given gift to encourage others to "Never Give Up". Displaying hundreds upon hundreds of pictures in one location, usually astounds people, knowing only one artist created it all. Plus when they realize how I had to do it by only using my mouth motivates them to understand that what problems they are encountering can be overcome.
Changing people's lives and their thoughts is such a rewarding gift ,for just doing something I love to do anyway, this mission of encouraging others actually gives me a purpose in life. Everyone on this earth needs a purpose in life, and I pray that I can show that everyone has an important purpose in life.
