I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, before I knew how to write. I have a twin brother and we used to sit at this little table facing each other and draw, I think that is how I ended up left handed. Anyways, for a long time, almost 40 years. I didn't pick up a paint brush till I was in high school, though. Illustration was always my thing.
Artist Profile - Interview
I have been painting since 1986. As a child I drew all the time and wanted to do Yes album covers(which totally dates me) I attended Maryland Institute College of Art and was very intimidated by the quality of work there. I found oil painting to be completely frustrating. Then a few years later I attended Minneapolis College of Art and Design and felt more at ease with paint.

Paint, pastel, wax and wool. I love to create, be it a massive 2 metre square canvas taking weeks or an afternoon curled up knitting myself a hat.
Colour is my guiding principle. I only have to see a box of paints or a bag of many colours of wool and I am itching to play around with it. It has long been my ambition to discover a new colour that nobody has ever seen before. This might be tricky as I now h ...read more
