I am red/green colorblind... the typical kind, that I owe to my mother's genes. That is probably why I paint with such vivid colors.

I am 1/32 Choctaw, or so the rumor in the family goes. Family secerets a few generations back, again, on her side of the family.

I have suffered dysthymia (mild, yet unrelenting depression) since I was a child. First diagnosed with Severe Depression during my teenage years.

I continue to fight bouts of severe depression with various USDA and AMA approved chemicals.

I have been married twice: the first time for only one year and 7 months to the day. I was used.

My second marriage lasted some 25 years and only ended when my Mary disappeared in the horrible fog of Alzheimer's. Again I was used, but with my full knowledge and consent.

I have lots of stories I could tell you, but I won't, at least now.

I created and sold my work professionally for over 35 years. Only recently have I discovered the meaning of this work.

I currently reside in Guatemala, having made my bed recently in Tucson; Paris, Tennessee, Belize; Tucson, AZ; Sahuarita, AZ; and Patagonia, AZ.
