| Introduction | I am a retired Idaho native, having spent most of my adult career in journalism - beginning as a reporter/photographer and later editing several newspapers. Post polio syndrome forced my retirement in 1999 from the occupations I once enjoyed, but I am now a full-time artist, painting and selling those paintings (primarily oil landscapes and still-life) over the internet, through several galleries, and locally. I have developed a love for Japanese short-form poetry over the past several years, especially haiku and haiga. I live in Twin Falls, Idaho with my wife Janet and our two dogs, Max and Chewy, and an assortment of haiku-able crows, crickets, butterflies, spiders, squirrels and neighborhood cats. --- I am or have been a member of the Haiku Society of America, Magnapoets, AHA Poetry Forum, Haiku Hut Poetry Forum, HelloPoetry and Notes from the Gean. |
