Who be me?
I have been a creative since a kid. Green Bay, Wisconsin, 1966.
Industrious as an American student; raised in an artistic family; parent; husband.
Schooled in the glorious Liberal Arts, with master’s level training in Artificial Intelligence (Franz LISP). Deep reader of Art History.
I’ve explored painting, sculpture, drawing, moldmaking, welding, Macromedia, Adobe, WordPress. I once was a Unix System Administrator. I built my back deck. And front yard firepit.
I summited Rainier. Camped at Machu Picchu. Comforted a mother Loggerhead laying eggs at midnight, crawled with her back to the break, swam with her back to sea.
I love power tools, chisels, hammers, brushes, mixing bowls, paints, varnishes, digital applications, photography, media experimentation, lighting, classical guitar, street sales, print sales, fine arts commissions in the Latin American mode.
I had an article in The Huffington Post, and Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The Stranger and CCTV.
I showed at Seattle Center Exhibition Hall.
Frank Rich once gave me an accolade for a video-poem I did, titled VIOLENCE MOTIF.
I write frequently about art, creativity, and poetics. And to that: I am a student of art, all ways. I am an acolyte, a member of the ancient guild, a purveyor of forms, a teacher.
Humanist. Part of the maine.
Artist.
