I've been an artist since October 31, 1984.
There's no special significance that was Halloween. I'd finished my shift as a waiter at a faux- French restaurant, picked up a six-pack, and headed over to my friend Mike's apartment. We were watching MTV when I was struck by the idea that we needed to pop over to the all night drugstore and purchase art supplies. We returned to his place and worked on art until dawn. Two weeks later we had a studio in the old attic of his grandparent's house. Last month, thirty-six years later, we finished a book project, a collaboration.
My mainstay is visual art (paintings, mixed media, installations, photography and films) but I work in a lot of different arenas. Just finished an album -music- "29 Motels".
I get inspiration from a lot of activities and places. When I was six years old, I told my parents I wanted to be a world traveler; we decided to earn that distinction I'd have to go to 100 countries. I'm at fifty-six and still exploring...
