I create and do stuff, highly imaginative and eccentric, "they say" and I work in all mediums and create one of kind items from junk and with whatever happens to be in my path. 

         My oil pastel works are full of energy & movement.  The works are beautiful, magical, mysterious, simplistic, ugly, humorous,  terrifying, erotic, it all shows up on the paper. I call the works my life in pictures.  I have thousands and thousands of oil pastel works as doing them  became a daily ritual..I saved them all.   Due to storage space I have been reworking some of the collection. During the last few years I have been working in acrylics.

         

           At the age of 9, I drew my first nudes; I got a strapping for doing a bad drawing; the teacher thought it was immoral; I thought I couldn't draw.

          My mother taught me rug hooking with cut wool strips. From my parents I learned to love and appreciate nature.                                

          During the summer months I spent endless hours twirling around on my swing and in the winter I skated on a small patch of ice in the swamp. During these times of aloneness my imagination soared. Now I am retired and at play again.

          When visiting my studio, ask to read my first book, called, "My First Book".   It has over 60 mini works along with some unusal  comments.
