About Me

I am a visual person. I hope my hungry eyes never fill with too much beauty. I love all forms of art especially architecture and photography. I draw and paint with oils. Sometimes people actually pay for my drawings, but I paint for myself only. Although my work is about material expression, my soul is only filled by the love I give to and receive from family, friends, and pets. I am here to learn about music. If you're a musician or band, I will happily give a listen.
