I am a mixed media artist... since a child I've painted, drawn, sculpted. Over the many years I've attempted to try it all from oils & watercolor & tempura & acrylics; conte & charcoal & pastels... to sculpture with wood, stone, clay, wire and metal... and words.

In my life I've been a writer as well. and then mostly recently a digital artist. I love photo manipulation with the computer, scanner, and camera. I've dabbled in 3D Animation in college as well as video production and special fx.

I even tried my hand at freelance design, but I guess I don't have the gumption for it. I'd love it if people paid me to create... but I don't think it will ever happen.

My mind never seems to focus on one thing for long...

I started a few businesses to make money. all of them failed. tried to be a freelance graphic artist, did not get a single paying customer all alot of folks want stuff for free. did some sculpture work also. tried to get into wire wrapping, jewelry making, also tried to build and refurbished computers.

the last 6yrs I've been in a creative funk. I want it to leave but it hasn't yet. So I snap pics of my cats and I goto other Artists sites and critique their work. In 2018 I did start to write again. short stories and poems. but have been very mixed about showing them to anyone. But had nervous breakdown of sorts. lots of anxiety.

it's now mid 2020. been stuck in place for months. haven't created much. have been in a lot of pain - emotional, mental, physical.
