About Me

i take care of men with schizophrenia during my daytime job. on fridays and saturdays i work in the estes-walker fine art gallery downtown. on my off days, (and on days),i paint. my inspiration comes from dead trees, the oddities of life, and the delicious smell of oil paint. napthol crimson, prussian blue and burnt umber are the richest and most beautiful colours. my favorite foods are grilled salmon, olives and plum tomatoes. and i love running. ..
