My life and career in the visual arts encompasses everything from mixed media to painting, sculpting, wood-carving, foam-carving, water feature design and most recently digital art.

 

Growing up in Springfield, Massachusetts, I was not involved in the visual arts. Most of my creative energy was channeled into music as singer and performer.

I'm sure I must have always possessed the ability to create art, yet throughout my childhood the walls of my room bore no evidence of an artist’s presence. 

​

I was in my early 20's when I got my first paying job as a visual artist in my hometown where I worked as a courtroom sketch artist for the nightly news.  Although the money was good, especially for in those days, the monotony and depressing energy of courtrooms quickly wore thin for me.  I vowed that I would only pursue art as a profession if it was spiritually fulfilling.

It would be nearly twenty years later before I would find my calling in visual arts.​

​​

I believe artists are the first historians. Were it not for cave drawings, Egyptian statues, etc., we may have never known about much of history. And in that vein, it is the calling of artists to reflect all that life encompasses.

​

As artists we are the creators of nothing but rather simply the vessels for what the universe chooses to channel through us.

Don’t believe that?  Then someone please explain to me how a three year old can play Bethoven....Hmmmm!
