| Introduction | All my life I've been focused on art and becoming an artist. My family moved around a lot when I was a kid (I had military dad) so art grounded me, kept me out of trouble and gave me an early identity. Somewhere I heard or read a wonderful quote which pretty much says it all; "Art has been my anchor and my sail." Right after high school I attended Ringling School of Art and soon graduated. I knew for sure this was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.However, like many folks life got in the way and it wasn't until the year 2000 that I finally became a full time artist and now artist/teacher. The passion is still here I'm proud to say. I'm especially grateful to have lived long enough to be apart of the computer age. What a wonderful opportunity to see so much incredible art all over the world and never leave your living room. It really is a great time to be alive. |
