About the Artist

I have the distinction of being the oldest living emerging artist in existance. (grin) Regarding my work: each art piece seems to take on it’s own life and direction. It’s an adventure to see it happen, despite my own planning. Then exploration of the art piece’s style happens and that is the most exciting part of the process. My diversity has been both a blessing and a curse, but it has kept me from dieing a slow stylistic death. Of course, having the mindset of a six-year-old helps too……..

"Pick-A-President" (aka Heads of State) allows you to select a small head and let it roll down a staircase made of nails and rods which creates a musical percussive sound until it finally reaches the bottom. It has portraits of Clinton and Bush on the top, a party animal on the left side, a fossil on top, and a political platform on the right.
