From Meteorologist to Artist
In 2007 I retired as a meteorologist after 50 years of work and have been focusing mainly on my art, from sculptures to functional art to metal collages .I have been working in this arena for over two decades. Being self taught with no formal training, my work has been exhibited at numerous shows and exhibits in the Washington, DC/Baltimore area. Most importantly, I love what I’m doing.
