| Introduction | I love to make, look at, talk/write about, and share art. I've flown across country to see and show art. Do I sound obsessed? I guess I am a geek after all. I live in an artists' complex in BEAUTIFUL industrial downtown Los Angeles, and teach art part-time at several colleges. I teach all two-dimensional art media (including digital). |
