Growing up in Minneapolis, my art education began at Walker Art Institute -------- sculpture classes with Evelyn Raymond!
Over the years, I've earned my living doing Fashion Illustration and many charcoal portraits!  (All the while thoroughly convinced that TRUE ART was abstract!)
Basic good design lead to my opening a Graphic Design company in Dallas: "FINE LINES".  These days I work in oil and realism seems to be overtaking my pure-design work
