| Introduction | I am a retired business executive who majored in Industrial Design at DAAP at The University of Cincinnati. My working career was, for the most part, in industrial sales (I was a manufacturer's representative with my own company) of engineered heat processing equipment for the metalworking industry. I retired in 2000 to devote my time to making art and attended the Cincinnati Art Academy to renew my art skills. Today, I am an exhibiting artist in Cincinnati with a one-man show in 2010; For ten years I taught watercolor painting at the Baker-Hunt Art and Cultural Center to adults; For the last six years I have taught courses at the Oscher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Cincinnati. The current course is titled "Art of Our Time, the Modern and Contemporary". I have been asked to judge several major art exhibitions and to provide lectures to various groups on aspects of art history. |
