I am obsessed with images, and I have always loved to draw. My Dad was a great calligrapher and artist. He drew on everything; napkins,table cloths, newspapers, or whatever was handy..........and so do I. My brother and I grew up riding horses, and Dad was an Oldsmobile dealer. So you might notice a lot of horses and old cars in my work. Oh yeah, we played a lot of cowboys and Indians as well...so........... I get great pleasure from creating art, both painting and photogtaphy and also from sharing images with others. When I am painting. I am lost in time.All of a sudden it's three AM. I hope you enjoy my work (work is not the right term).....my art. My Bio sheet follows:
