I have a balanced life. I am a martial artist and a painter. Those two disciplines-learning to protect the outer world, and then nuture the inner world is how I attain balance in my life.

I have learned how to overcome great difficulties. As a child I was diagnosed with polio and lost the use of my legs. Because of this challenge, I have developed the skill of finding personal meaning in every small thing I do.

The most important principle I have learned is this. Never ask if I can do thing. Rather, I decide if I want to learn a skill. Once I decide what I want, I then find a teacher. And then I practice what they ask every day. As a result I have accomplished some satisfying experiences.

My art education began when I was two years of age and picked up a crayon. Whereas many people stop drawing, I didn't.
When I was 13 I studied watercolor under the tutelage of a master watercolorist for my summer vacation.
At 14 I studied portrait drawing at Lorrain Community College.
At 15 I received an award at the Ohio Governors Annual Art Exhibition.
I went on to complete my B.F.A. degree at Bowling Green State University with a concentration in Painting and Illustration.
I apprenticed with Art Associates, an architectural rendering company. Studied the 18th Century Dutch Master Jan Vermeer and the 21 Century American Master, Maxfield Parish in the European time-honored tradition of painting reproduction.
I have shown in major galleries in New York City. Atlanta, Georgia. Taos, New Mexico, San Francisco, as well as many more.
