BIOGRAPHY
Everything changed for me when one day I was selling abstract art next to turnips at a farmer's market. I had setup a table complete with canvas, brushes, paints and napkins and let the kids paint while I talked art with the parents. I had done this often and didn't really take notice until that very morning. I begin to watch the kids as they painted.
They are fierce creators who have no fear nor do they care if other people are watching. As I watched them paint, I noticed that they were so absorbed in their creative realm that I became jealous. Children up to about 8-9 years old live in an amazing creative world where dragons and unicorns are real. I call this world Eden. I just simply found my way back to Eden and became child-like in all of my creative endeavors.
I have been creative for most of my life. Fiercely independent and impelled by a purely creative drive to manifest what I could imagine. Life became an insatiable desire to bring to life that which only existed within the possibilities of dreaming the impossible and taking risk.
Art, as a full-time occupation didn't take place until after I retired at 54. I found myself with an abundance of time and began to wander deep into the waters of creative expression through painting. As of this date, I have had the pleasure of many opportunities to travel across the country, displaying and selling my paintings. I have enjoyed a successful journey that no other endeavor taken could ever hope to achieve.
