My introduction to art was through my mother. One of my first memories was painting at the dinning room table. She was an oil painter and I was 3 or 4 and getting in the way. I remember her arranging a still life and then setting me at the table with my Santa Clause coloring book and my water colors. She died when I was 4, so art and painting especially, have been my connection to her.
As life goes on I married and had a son. After 25 years of marriage I went through a particularly annoying divorce. It was then that I vowed never to leave my true love (art) again, and since 2014 I have been pursuing my goal of a full time art career. This for me would be a healing balm for much of the suffering in my life. Art is my therapy, my way of connecting my strange self with other like minded beings, and I feel blessed because of it.
