As others may understand, I feel that I learn a great deal about life while working through challenges presented by my creative process. I invest as much time into my artwork as possible, seeking to learn, experiment, and express. Although there are many joyous aspects of life, I find myself most content, focused, and productive while in consistent pursuit of my art.

~~Hello, allow me to tell you a little about myself.
I’m retired from a career in Information Technology. I’ve had interest in art since a child. I even took a correspondence course when I was a kid - that’s an online course before the days of the Internet. Lessons, directions, and grades were exchanged via “snail mail”- Communications were slow - sometimes weeks between sending off a lesson and getting any type of response returned. I lost interest before completing the course.
Grew up in New York in the Hudson River valley. Moved to Maryland in 2000. Moved on the water in Pasadena in 2010.
Fell in love with Maryland's waterways, beaches and wildlife.
