I am a retired illustrator. I operated my own free-lance business for 30 years. I work in various media including: watercolor, acrylics, color pencil, graphite, charcoal and pen and ink. I love inventing imaginative pictures especially with humor. I paint landscapes, seascapes, still lifes, cityscapes and more. I have belonged to many local art societies and clubs and have won many awards. I have a degree from Ohio University but most of what I have learned has been the result of hard work and dedication. The most difficult part of creating art is finding ideas to work on. I usually am filled with many ideas but it is difficult to find the ones that really are inspiring. But that is what makes it all so worth while. I also love creative cooking and music and loafing.
