I am an artist who paints in oils and watercolors. I divide my time between painting portraits and other paintings on commission and also painting Fort Worth subjects for a local gallery, Galerie Kornye West.
I have been in business for 30 years.
I am currently working on several portrait commissions. My clients currently include the Dean of Harvard Divinity School, the President of the the New York County Bar Association as well as several families for whom I’m painting portraits. I have also recently been commissioned to paint a series of paintings for Texas Christian University.
My wife and I moved to downtown Fort Worth about 3 years ago. My studio is within walking distance of where we live, as is the downtown area. Fort Worth feels very comfortable – not too large and yet with so much to offer.
After graduating from UTA with a Fine Arts degree, I decided I needed further education and attended Art Center College of Design in California. After graduating from there in 1982 my wife and I moved back to this area to begin my career. Many of my illustrations in those early years were for Fort Worth clients, including Shakespeare In The Park posters and advertisements for local companies. With the advent of the computer, the business of illustration began to change and much of the work an illustrator was hired to do was now done on the computer. I was not interested in working on the computer and gravitated toward painting commissioned portraits and gallery paintings.
Making a living as a self-employed artist, especially during hard economic times.
The fantastic education I received at Art Center College of Design certainly was a defining moment of growth. I wouldn’t be where I am now without that. Another defining moment came in 1988. An illustration I did for an article on Phil Walden, the owner of Capricorn Records, in Southern Magazine (now defunct) led to requests for commissioned portraits. A few years ago I met Paula Kornye Tillman which led me into painting for her gallery, which has been the fulfillment of a long time dream to paint what I’m inspired to paint and have a venue for selling it.
Spending an afternoon with Governor Ann Richards after being commissioned to paint her official portrait was an interesting and fun experience. When my sitting with her was finished, I was supposed to get a taxi to the Austin airport but she insisted on giving me a ride. You get a lot of looks when you’re driving around Austin with Ann Richards!
If someone is looking to commission a portrait, I would suggest contacting a portrait agency, such as Portraits Inc. They represent many artists with a wide degree of styles and prices. Or they can just call me. And if someone is looking for fine art to hang on their walls I would recommend visiting Galerie Kornye West in Fort Worth.

Legacy Arts, Coins & Collectibles was established to create an environment that provides truly unique pieces of art along with the ability to purchase gold, silver, or coins all in one location. Additionally, we give our customers that opportunity to not only invest in art and bullion but also sports memorabilia. All of these types of products will only go up in value for those looking to invest in the future.
Our first business has been in operation for over a year. Our store front has been opened since June of this year.
Currently, because of our wide variety of products, we have customers from 10 years old to 70 years old.
Our company is very unique in the fact that you cannot find all three components in one store. Our business model is truly “outside the box” thinking and that’s a gamble we are willing to take.
We living and doing business in Fort Worth because I was born and raised here. Our art gallery wants to establish and show a “Main Street Arts Festival” year-round. We love the festival and believe that Fort Worth can broaden its’ artist flavor to more diverse types of artwork.
As previously mentioned I was born and raised in Fort Worth and attended Paschal High School. I joined the US Air Force almost immediately after high school and recently retired in 2009. The opportunities that the service provided me along with leadership and the opportunity at higher education planted the seed that I, with hard work, can do almost anything. Opening a business was at the top of the list.
My wife and I started our on-line business, Jason-n-Jada-Collectibles last year on e-Bay, as a form of additional income so she could be a stay at home mom for our 1 year old. We quickly learned a lot in those first few months and then once we got the hang of it, we started to see nice sales returns. To date, our on-line business will exceed over $400K in a year. It was the potential that really made us realize that hard work and taking care of our customers is beneficial to the business.
Fast forward to March of this year and an “out of the blue” phone call from a relative about an art venture is what really catapulted the idea of an art gallery.
The venture with my relative is still on the back-burner but upon looking for an “art gallery” is when I found the perfect location, store, and venue to have all three ventures in one!
Our biggest challenge is letting everyone know were here! I’ve advertised in DFW.com, Fort Worth Weekly, the Movie Tavern on 7th, Fort Worth, Texas Magazine, and on KLIF radio. This doesn’t even include the menus for Paris Coffee shop and Dixie House Café. We’ve also stated in various ads that we are located right next to legendary “Kincaid’s Hamburgers.”
This remains to be seen with the exception of meeting a lot of great people like our artist and those associated with art events and functions.
As mentioned previously, we have meet some very interesting people in the art community.
Ever-changing!
I’ve noticed that more and more people are really being drawn to art work. Art work, I believe, opens the mind and soul and lets you escape whatever ails you, at least for the moment however brief.
With regards to art work, if you are entranced by a piece of art work, then that is the first phase of finding what you connect with. Additionally, when dealing with something that is “pretty or neat,” this should not be the sole factor in purchasing a piece of art work. You should really connect with the art work, not just think it’s pretty…kind of like when you establish a romantic relationship!
We are really excited because we believe that the Fort Worth Art Dealers Association (FWADA) Fall Gallery Night is our true coming out party! We are in the brochure and on the map for this huge event. Also, with regards to thinking “outside the box,” we will have a Crazyfish Sushi, a Sushi food truck on-site. Additionally, we will participate in Musicarte Fort Worth on the 6th of October and the Near Southside Art Goggle on the 13th of October.
