I am an artist who enjoys the creative process as much as the result. I enjoy a wide array of mediums, but mostly find myself in the paint studio,  and carving stone, usually marble.  I draw everyday and have several ideas for paintings, sculptures and fountians.

I have had an opportunity to live in Europe as a child in the 1970′s and then as an adult in 2000-2001.
I have visited 11 countries and over 100 cities in Europe. In my european travels I experienced a huge number of castles, festivals, Museums and Art Museums, many of the Museums several times each.

I have been to 43 states, and 4 provinces in Canada. I have seen a huge number of cities, museums, and National and State Parks in both countries. All of these experiences provide a huge amount of memories, and visual imagery to add to my creative process.
