I have studied briefly at the Art Institue of Chicago before attending college. I graduated from Northern Illinois University in 1975 with a bachelor’s degree in graphic and fine arts.

I now live with my wife in Quincy, California, which is in the northern Sierra Nevada mountains in the northeastern part of the state. We live in a valley at the 3,500 foot elevation surrounded by the stunning beauty of pine and fir covered mountains towering up to 8,300 feet and snowcapped in winter. We also get plenty of snow on the valley floor in winter.

The area offers infinite scenes of natural beauty of which I often photograph and paint. I am retired from the printing and publishing business, so I now have time to do what I always wanted to do: watercolor painting.

If you want, you could start makeing a website trough Google sites. It is a very easyway in making websites.

Here you see how to do it:

Ofcourse a real website is better, but it might be a good free start.

Good luck!!
