In 2003 I am exited about making art.
As a child, my dream was to be an artist, and my happiest times were those when I was drawing. Ten years ago I began to take my art-making more seriously. It now seems to be paying off.
As I enter my 60th year, I can see that I have attained some measure of success. I realize what is most important, is the feeling of joy I experience while in the midst of the creative process. Sharing the final work with others and seeing the pleasure and enjoyment they feel is a great reward.
My work is usually quite personal. Whether it portrays children playing with the " wrong "toys, as in my " Sissies and Tomboys " show, or a series of portraits of my dog Molly and my Partner, Peter, that comprised " The Molly " show, or the 2002 series of familiar Provincetown scenes, I enjoy taking inspiration from the world around me.
