| Introduction | Since the time I was old enough hold a pencil or a brush, I have been drawing and painting. My father owned a printing business so I had all the scrap paper any artist could want. Starting at about seven, I studied with several local artist groups in class settings. I then studied privately with a prominent local artist for about eight years. As an adult, I worked in the printing and graphic design industry. I also taught guitar part time and I worked both as a professional and volunteer fire fighter for many years. During this time I painted off and on, but nothing serious. Being attracted to the bright colored wardrobes, props, and opportunity of working with people, I started to clown about 1978. I went full time in 1992. I wrote the scripts, designed, built and painted the props and staging for over forty different shows. All my promotional materials were my original design. I also designed and then painted my personal canvas, my face, three to ten times a week. I am now making the transition back to my roots and training, using paint, pallet, and brush to create pictures and wall art. Much of what I am painting is from my life and work experiences.
