1950 Born in Beford, PA. USA
I have been drawing and painting since my earliest recollections. All I have ever wanted to do was be an artist. After a 4 year stint in the Navy where I was trained as an operating room technican, I studied art at Indiana University of PA.

| About the Artist |
My artwork has been influenced by my work in the operating room (I'm now a nurse) and my obsession with surrealism. I try to draw on my experiences in life and translate that into a personal art that can have universal meaning. |
