(1) How would you like to Introduce yourself?
I am a self-taught artist, I didn’t attend a fancy art school. I can’t drop names of influential artist mentors who helped shape my vision. I spend my evenings sketching, after putting in a full day’s work as a sales man. I used to believe my lack of an art degree was something to apologize for, that my art was somehow less legitimate than the art of someone who spent three years earning an M.F.A. But then I realized, I’ve been studying art for over 35 years. My education happens every day.
Apart from visual art I am percussionist and a writer.

My wife and two kids, one boy and a girl, they are my biggest critics. Always motivating and giving a space for my art works.
