| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Treasuring every opportunity to draw pictures in elementary school and at home, and being enrolled in a professional private art school at age nine, I was dubbed the proverbial "class artist" in each of my K-12 school classes. It has been my top interest throughout my life, pursuing concentrations in painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, and drawing. |

| Your Personal Biography |
Typical of my work is a wide and varied range of images and media, roaming from realistic landscapes and wildlife to spiritual imagery to contrived spatial form and color relationships.
Naturalism + abstraction are equally enjoyable norms for me.
Although my highest conscious regards are to create high-quality compositions with selectively strong-to-subtle senses of visible impact, I know that my personal essentials for strongest results are intuition, why nots, and humor.
The experience gained from living, learning and working in and with many diverse regions, situations, and people, in creating in several 2 and 3-dimensional media, and in studying the breadths and depths of art history, has given decades of enrichments to my arts. Nonetheless, equal experience has come by way of rejecting some of those learnings and just creating happily from within myself... or what is creating, anyway?Ó
As a professional artist working at my home studio amid woods, pond and wildlife in Burlington, NC, my creative work has been included in national, competitive, and invitational exhibitions, and in galleries and collections.
A Professor Emeritus of Fine Art and Art History from Edinboro University in PA., my prior teaching positions were at the University of Kansas, Murray State University in Kentucky, and Kent State University in Ohio, variously in printmaking, drawing, design, painting, graphic design, illustration, and all eras and locations of art history.
I received an M.A. degree in printmaking from Stanford University, an M.F.A degree in painting from Kent State University, & Teaching Assistantships at both.
Further graduate sculpture at the U. of California at Berkeley, and post-graduate lithography at the U. of New Mexico, graphic design and illustration at Cambridge University in England, in Florence, Italy, and at Kent State, completed my formal education. A B.A. in Psychology, B.S. in Education, and B.F.A. in Art began it.
My works may be seen at the Churton Street Gallery in Hillsborough, NC, and the Sea Gypsy Gallery in Emerald Isle, NC.
