For more than 50 years I have been actively involved in the design and creation of artwork. From a very early age and using the simples of tools, a pencil, I quickly discovered that I loved to draw. From that followed a passionate interest in oil painting, photography, then fiber art, and finally, around 1987 or so, image editing. There were other vocational interests as well-graphic design, typography, pre-press and print production- but those were in the service of a professional career that consumed roughly 30 years.
