Engineering

Why do I share this aspect of my Life? After all it is not ART! It is not one of my creative paintings or Photographs.

It is part of me. It is over 50% of my time. It shapes me and my art. I truly believe if you are going to follow an artist and support them, you should know all there is to know about them. Art is personal it is intimate. You will spend a lot of time looking and pondering an image finding hidden meaning and hidden connections.
