Born in Chicago, Illinois in 1961, I spent my early years in the green landscape by Lake Michigan.
I am well traveled, and have lived and worked in a healthy variety of situations, from ten years of my own computer graphics and illustration business to gardening/landscaping to goat-ranches. Insight Meditation, Yoga and Buddhist studies enhance my life.
I now live in rural Arizona, continuing to paint and draw and exhibit in both solo and group shows.
