2004 - Biografia
- I was born in 1942 in Brooklyn, NY, USA.
- At an early age my family moved tram the city to a small farm country town in upstate New York.
- To the dismay of parents who had grown to adulthood during the great depression, I displayed great interest in drawing. In their eyes, artists starved, workers of any sort
- did not.
- At schooll favored art classes, to the detriment of other subjects. Skip ahead to post adolescence and the Army: I spent the rare spara time iIIustrating issues of the unit's
- newsletter and penciling portraits tram blurry photographs far homesick troopers. Not much money but some acclaim.
- After the Army an unsettled period of aimless wondering about the country. Then, marriage, jobs. College: drawing, sculpture, photography at the State University of New York. Burn out. More job, responsibility, and some art. Eventuallya position as a technical iIIustrator. Not what one could cali art but lots of drawings being published in scientific journals and papers around the world.
- Back to the grind at Vermont College far a BA degree in Psychology and Writing. Moved to the West coast. Again, job, responsibility, a bit more art. Some sales at local galleries in Everett, Washington. A couple of small shows with my partner, wife, love of my life.
- 1996: My wife finds mail art Network and drags me by the ear to drawing board. I discover that I am trae to do whatever moves me. No pressure to perform, just have fun sending out my artistic tinkerings and receiving art from people around the world.
- Have been at it eversince.
