I have been involved in the arts my entire life. I am a published poet, having had work in a number of small magazines in the US, Canada and Great Britain. I have also made mosaic dining room walls and done interior design, as well as taught modern dance.
A number of years ago I picked up a digital camera, taught myself Photoshop and then moved onto acrylics on canvas. Lately I have been drawing and painting with pen and acrylics on paper. I love the variety of artistic mediums available today.
When people ask me where I get the time to produce all this art, as I have a very full life, my answer is always that without making art I wouldn’t be able to accomplish other things in my life. Art keeps me whole and moving forward. It is such a part of my life there is no question as to whether I have the time for such; without art I have no life. The only question for me is what type of art am I producing today.
