Peacefully,
For more than 30 years I have put my art to work in Cincinnati and around the country.  From illustrating for the covers of the old Mt. Adams Outlook as a kid in the 1970s, to riding the wave of graphic design and media through the 80s, and eventually settling into my fine art and creative facilitation as a way of life ever since, I have always enjoyed the ever changing, challenging, sometimes chaotic, and always creative things that I do.

Because I am always experimenting with and honing my craft, it may seem as though a lot is going on here, but it's really just one thing, creating - in myriad forms.  The links and thumbnails on this page will put you in touch with my visual art and writing, as well as workshops and classes for individuals, professional development, and challenged youth.

Whatever your reason for visiting, I hope you find what you're looking for and if there's is something I can do for you, just let me know.
