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.

It's finally happening!
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 will start March 1

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.
