Hello everyone. Well in a Nutshell, i have always had the love of Art ever since i was knee high. I was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa. Tried to venture away from Iowa by moving to Florida in the early 80's , but that seemed to last only 3 months or so for the love of family and friends back home i so much missed. So i tucked my tail under my behind and headed back home to dear ol' Iowa. There i continued on my adventure of looking for myself in other ways of survival like a new career away from the love of Art that i thought was so much my life right then and there forever and ever, but seem to lose interest of that with electronics from a degree i had acheived from trade school that took me down a long path of life in television and radio . That seem to take its ups and downs with life tugging you back and forth of uncertainies toward a high paying job that never happen which left me confused and finding my comfort in the bar scenes looking for life in another direction of restuarant business and bartending. But through it all my Art Talent all and all , has been set in the backstage of life waiting for me to call its name when i was ready to cave to take me back and find myself once again.So here i am to the present ,re-inventing myself through the Art Scope of life as i see it through these eyes of a 55 year old man who has finally awakened his soul through Art as he see's it.
