About Me
I was raised in the Sowthwestern deserts of New Mexico and Arizona. 1 of 6 children born to migrant farm workers. My first experience with Art was at the age of 5, I recall it vividly. Sitting on the desert sand I would rub the sand smooth and take a small twig to begin drawing with. The wind never ceases to blow in the desert, so it would come and blow away bits of my drawings. I would simply add new things to the drawings, the wind would come again and the cycle would be repeated. To me it felt as if God were playing with me in the sand right then and right there. The most wonderful part is that those drawings were so temporal, that no-one ever saw them but me. However they have remained with me through 50 something(hehehe) or more years. I love life, the outdoors, and Beauty in all it's forms.
