MY BACKGROUND
Ever since I was three and living in New York City, I remember
drawing and as I grew-up I was constantly working on
bettering my skills by drawing my Dad's drawings of famous
movie stars. After graduating High School, my artwork took a
backseat to College and a degree in teaching Dance and
Physical Education.
MT START IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Since teaching took up so much of my time, including spare
time, my artwork suffered and I found myself struggling with
daily stress and no real creative outlet. Photography became
the quick fix to the only relaxation I had available to me.
Thirty five years later I decided to pursue my drawing again
but this time to incorporate them into my photography. As a
result, I continue to strive in creating what I hope is some very
unique 2D pieces of art.
JUST A THOUGHT...
Since retiring in 2004, I found that all of that repressed
creativity started to emerge and I couldn't be happier with
my life.
There is nothing 'deep' about how I create or metaphysical
about the process, I just love watching the process evolve and
I enjoy every appreciative art enthusiast who stops by
wherever I'm showing to compliment my work.
Art to me has never been about creating but more about
sharing and if my work provokes an emotional response or
connection with a viewer, then I've been successful.
