Background
Member Arizona Artist Guild
I have been painting, drawing and sculpting since my early childhood. In high school I worked with a professional artist and teacher in the Chicago Suburbs of Hinsdale and Naperville. While taking painting and multimedia classes at Loyola University Chicago I focused on painting as my preferred medium. I enjoy Painting , it is what I must do and I believe achieving the goal of a great painting is quite a reward.. Later in life I abandoned my Biology Background and Completed degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. Working at Motorola Cellular Group / Sector for years as a project and production manager I was able to raise my family and had a very successful career.
I have a love of Philosophy and read many books in my youth as I continue to do these days. I enjoy Landscape impressionaistic painting as well as Surreal adventures . . . . . I am also careful not to take myself too seriously, because laughter and wit are like the whipped cream on top of the desert, they enhance the experience.
