I love being in the studio! Painting does for me what reading does for most people... escape this place and time to enter worlds imagined.

What is the distinction between fine artists and illustrators? I believe that fine artists pride themselves in using only their eyes and immediate mediums to produce their work, while illustrators smartly use all available aids to get the work they desire. (Where would Vermeer be without the camera obscura?)
I have a foot in each world.

I studied writing for children over 30 years ago but never pursued publication. I now have 30 years worth of stories in my head. And new characters reveal themselves to me each day.
