As the youngest of three, I was born (in 1951) in Portland, Oregon. My childhood was "semi-okay"...but something in how I was raised drew me into an early, lasting, and richly diverse fascination with "art"...and so...I am where I am...

...but my fascination began with the television shows and movies I was exposed to. And so...my first attempts at art were derived from those TV shows and movies. To check out my "memoir" of that period, feel free to click here.
