I am an abstract painter. I received my BFA in Painting from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I now live in Austin, TX, and paint primarily in oil, acrylic and encaustic.
Real joy is becoming exceedingly rare among artists of any kind. And I have an idea that those who can and do communicate it are always people who have had a hard time. Then the joy has no smugness or self-righteousness in it, is inclusive not exclusive, and comes close to prayer. — May Sarton
