I read Albert Einstein’s definition of time and space when I was 14 years old, blown away by a few simple words; “Time is what we measure with a clock, space is what we measure with a ruler”.
The Rite of Spring
As a trained musician and passionate artist I feel incredibly fortunate that I have been able to combine my two worlds. On the one hand, music provides a seemingly endless resource of inspirational content and painting is the perfect channel for my discovery therein.
Where did I study Art?
I don’t have any papers or certificates that say I am good at art. I guess you would have to say that I went to the school of hard knocks. They do’t hand out degrees for that. I grew up in a little town called Lakeville, in Ohio. I bought an airbrush when I was about 13.

How I Found “The Way of the Brush”: PART 2: Creativity as a Guiding Light
At the end of the weekend, we each shared our self portrait. I was one of the last to share. I put it up, and the room went silent. I thought, OMG, what is wrong…it must be awful and no one likes it. I was mortified.
Ireland – Between Heaven and Earth
I am interested in examining man’s relationship between the ephemeral & the eternal as well as the cyclical patterns of growth and decline that binds all material things. Careful observation reveals the beauty within each moment of a world in continuous change.
