Artist Statement Influenced by a broad range of artist at a young age in several locations. I've worked as a farm worker, fertilizer factory(thats rite cow poo),small Mill worker, nurses aid, to name a few mostly short lived because of illness.
: Bio; " Vary short & skinny Vrs. 1.1 " :
Born in a major city on the Washington Coast. Moved to California at 2yrs. old. Moved back and forth between Cali., Many parts of WA., and Oklahoma until 14yrs old. I then attended a Non-profit Private School in the vary near reaches of B.C. for almost 2 years. Living in parts of Oregon and Washington for most of My adult life, with short stays in parts of Oregon.
I have lived with Crohn's for about 25Yrs. and continue to pursue My love for doing digital art even through the hardiest periods of illness.
Yes it is true that one can say only so much in ones life., and then there is only the echo through the minds and voices of others. some lives contain volumes of events and feelings, so complex they are mysterious., ? to be unraveled by generations.


My up-bringing is fairly complicated., having never met My father, a Professor of art in Metal sculpture, and being raised by My mother as a single child. By the mid 70's my mother began exploring the civil rites/sexual revolution and the art movements around them. I often wandered the Oklahoma Central usually finding myself in the theater watching old Superman episodes. Yes there were lots of parties, with lots of vary high people. Mostly I would hang out and watch people mingle and listen to there conversations, then go wander around the the buildings to see what I could see.
There were plenty of intense altercations and frantic exodus along

back to My struggle with Reading., after moving from school to school., averaging about 1 Yrs. between. I had bin pushed up until 7thgrade with approximately a 1stGr. reading & writing level., dew to my unusual records and testing scores(Showing the ability to due things like algebra, largely in My head consistently had a tendency to through people off). eventually I fund Myself in a nonprofit private school in Canada., On a small Mt. no Electricity and about 26 head of highlanders.Oh, and yes I wanted to be an Astronaut when I was a kid like meny.
