DISCO 70 and 80's is the music he listens
to while he creates.  It's the music of a
community coming together on a Friday
or Saturday nite.  He remembers those
times well.
His art is never still, it's manic, always excitement, like
(Gasp-more than 25 years ago)  drinking a rum and
coke watching the above lights at the disco.
He grew up in
Chicago.  
and  Loves
Chicago.       
It's where his
heart is.  
Loves San
Francisco
also.  Both cities
have
this positive
energy,
and both worth a
visit.
Although self-taught and Painting, Creating all his life,  he has taken many
workshops at the Maitland Art Center and the Crealde School of ART,  and
will continue  to grow as an artist.
