I have realized that I have not posted an introduction to myself and that might be a bit rude, seeing as I know more about a lot of you.
As it pertains to art, I was born creatively inclined. At age 9, I became blinded for a month and have been obsessed with texture and structure since. I am considered “self taught”, but it is more like I latched on to more advanced artists and made a bunch of useful mistakes. I have taught sculpture on a community level for a few years and loved it. I’ve had numerous showings and only bothered with one solo show I used to have a web page but it is lost in cyberspace. My little home (garage actually) and my father’s garden is busting with clay and wood carved pieces because marketing is not my strong point. My sons have asked me to stop doing nudes because their friends gawk. This last year, after two years of horror (life happens), I have been blocked from doing anything major, but I can feel the stirring rising and I’m eager to see the new stuff that comes out of me. My day job is as a project manager and I am hopeful that one day, I can afford and accomplish a major installment, even if it is in my father’s garden. I am also a novel writer, but my home computer is toasted, and I enjoy oil painting, but it is more for the texture, than the colors and technique.
I am very glad to have found this site. I feel like I’ve found a new family.
