I doubt I'll ever like writing about my work. But I'll always talk about it. I made one minute videos to give you some insite on my process.

I’ve lived for 37 years in the same house on several wooded acres. The original house is a log cabin that was built in the mid 1700s. I restored the interior to expose the logs. The floors are wood. The ceilings are wood. I planted many trees when I first moved here. Many have matured and fallen over. I regularly cut and split wood on my property. It’s my primary source of heat. Not surprisingly, trees influence my art.

For no good reason I didn't make any work on paper for the past few years. I guess (hope) I was consumed with painting. I broke out the crayons a couple months ago. What tooke me so long? The fun is back.

I use a technic that combines wax oil crayons, oil pastels and sumi ink. I'm teaching some workshops. Check my links and sign up. Coloring fun.

I've been making art full time since I was an undergraduate at MICA. That's about 50 years now. I've supported myself this whole time making pictures. I've never had a job other than self-employed. I know I'm lucky.
