Watercolors and a few other things I love.

"Life and art are the same thing."

      Felix Mendelssohn

​

Swim, paint, make music.  My daily devotions.  This is a place where I can share the latter two with you.  Have a look around please!

​

I've been making music all my life, and it has been a constant blessing.  I've met wonderful people, gone around the world, worked hard and had fun.  If you ask me music is the best thing humankind has come up with. 

​

Painting came along with retirement.  What started as a lark at a friend's kitchen table became a passion and then a tidal wave which overtook my life... in a good way.  I even landed a gig as Artist in Residence with the National Parks in 2017.  I still get excited when the paint hits whatever surface I am working on!

​

Most of all, with both my music and my painting, I want to tell you a story.  Or maybe more to the point, I want to give you the fodder for telling yourself your own story.
