In 1964 Santa brought me a Grumbacher paint box. Oil paint. Turpentine. Brushes and canvas. A world of possibilities laid out before me. The magic of that morning marked a turning point in my young life. The love of color, the desire to create, has remained my constant companion for over sixty years. I’ve tried my hand at many different media, and found that each offers a unique manner of self-expression. Currently, I am enjoying making digital art on my iPad as well as painting with acrylics. Whatever my hand and heart turn to, I find that the process of each creation, each material, continues to delight me as much at sixty-nine as it did when I was eight. I hope each piece I make is embued with a bit of that delight, and that it spills over from my heart to yours.
