I have been hooked on
art since I could hold a crayon. I wanted an education in art, but that was
vetoed by my high school guidance counselor because I was college bound. So I had
to learn on my own.
I learned to draw from
John Nagy's show on t.v. and hung all my work in my basement in the boiler room
art gallery. Black and white photography and dark room skills were taught to me
by a high school friend, and painting skills were picked up from a college
friend who became a professional artist.
My medium of choice is
still photography, though I now use mostly color. Black and white lost its
thrill for me without the darkroom experience. I use my photographs as subjects
for paintings in oil, acrylic or pen & ink with a watercolor wash.
Another medium I enjoy
is wood-burning combined with painting on old wooden furniture and other found
objects.
