ABOUT ME AND THE SITE

So why an artist?  Lots of reasons, but one big catalyst. In the space of thirty days, I was diagnosed with two serious, incurable conditions - Parkinson's disease (PD) and a very rare form of lymphoma. My interest in art began building in subtle ways after the diagnoses, and has grown with my medical adventures, particularly the Parkinson's. I have become convinced that there is a real connection here, and it has been a blessing.  It's now been 10 years - and both my health and my artwork seem to be improving... who knew?

 This year, I started with a review and purge of everything I had done since starting.  My studio, and my life, feels a little less cluttered.  Then the pandemic hit - and it has changed my practice in many small ways.  My goal is to post the best of that work as an ongoing archive, and use it to push on promising ideas and techniques.  Please contact me with any comments or questions.

This site is dedicated to our departed friend, Gilbert “Nick” Nicholas, whose love of art and constant support played a big part in this story as well. We miss him, and think of him often.
