Artist Statement My early years were spent in Chicago. As I approached adulthood I felt repressed and unable to express my true identity and feelings. I had a yearning to go west. I packed my car with all my worldly possessions and ventured across the country to Los Angeles. At that time it was a very beautiful city. I became a portrait photographer. Several years later I met the woman that became my wife. We moved to Las Vegas and raised two children. I wound up going to UNLV and earned a BA in Psychology and going on to receive a Masters in Psychology from the University of Arkansas. I finally came out to my wife shortly after finishing school. We parted company, but remained friends. I moved back to Los Angeles had a loving relationship that lasted for eighteen years. I became a talent agent, working with actors for film and TV. I moved back to Las Vegas to be able to watch my grandkids grow up. A number of years later I purchased a digital art program and started creating artwork. I was amazed at the quality of work that I was creating and haven't stopped.
