Thank you for joining me on this site.
I have a rich history of making and sharing art over the last 50 decades, which brings me to...today.
​​​
I'm a 70+ year-old artist, happily living and making art in Portland, Oregon. It's my privilege to be able to use my art now to help others.
​
I do this by trying to inspire others to make art on my YouTube channel and donating much of my art for charitable causes.
​
Check out the project below that I am currently working on to raise money to help support a local shelter for the houseless.

Kickstarter campaign is live!
Almost 30 years ago, I started making up stories and drawings to entertain my two granddaughters, Phoenix and Bethany.
I thought about making them into a book or calendar then but it never happened. When I tucked them away and pretty much forgot about them, I had seven drawings and rhymes done out of the dozen I had intended to do.
​
When I rediscovered them last year, in a box of other treasures from that time, I was filled with a huge desire to finish this project and put it in a book form to present to my granddaughters at long last. At that time, I only had 7 drawings and rhymes and they were not in the right format to try and turn into a book.
​
So, I got busy...
Over the last few months, I've redrawn the original images and added 5 more to make the dozen I had always intended to do.​​
Don't give up
on your dreams!
Right now, I'm winding my way around a very steep learning curve as I format the book myself and get it ready for printing. But that's almost completed too!

So, what's next?
It's time to schedule the printing of the book. It's a rather costly adventure but you can help me with it if you like and get a book (or more!) out of the deal.
Kickstarter campaign started on March 1. As of March 3, it's over 20% funded. Thanks so much.
Please consider supporting the campaign and help get this book printed. You can do so for any amount. A $28 donation to the campaign will get you a signed copy (free shipping domestic only) when the books is printed (should be first week of July).

Where's the shop?
I've closed the shop and ended the business in order to focus more on my charitable art projects. Rather than have the shop, I invite you to contact me if you see something here or in my videos that you would like to purchase.
