Artist Profile

Self trained (untrained) artist, who came up the academic ranks studying literature, culture, language, and signs & symbols. 

​

Almost 50... (Yikes!)

​

Married to an optician (Mariah) with two daughters (Frankie & Elise), who are both full grown and out of the house. (More room for art supplies!) Granddaughter and collaborating artist, Felicity, is Frankie's kid.

​

Not very social. Loves music. Reads comics, horror stories, science fiction, and philosophy. Won't bite unless cornered. Atheistic, skeptical, mystic.

​
