Art without Boundaries

Welcome to my explorations into the world of art. I am a self-taught artist, and I enjoy the process of discovery almost as much as making art. Being self-taught allows me to ignore the rules and boundaries of traditional art. When I turned 60 and I realized that I have grown older but, in many ways I'v have never grow up. After working in an office for 40 years it’s time to let loose. I’m not being bound by anything but my imagination.

I paint, draw, sculpt in wood and stone, make metal sculptures, furniture as well as doodads and whatsits. I let the art muse lead me wherever it wants to go. I find that I jump around from painting to sculpture to furniture, all depending on the whim of the day.

My art, sculptures and furniture start with a spark of an idea. Ideas will roll around in my head and nag at me till I tackle it. It can start with something as simple as a piece of scrap metal, a piece of drift wood or even some image that just pops into my head. I can visualize the finished item before I even begin creating the piece. The challenge is having the skills to realize the vision, and I enjoy the discovery process as much as making art.

You will find interesting details about what I am doing on my blog. I will share my thoughts and activities as my I continue my journey artist.
