After I had been hospitalized when young...and told I would never work another day in my life.. I went and
taught school for many years..and when cancer seemed like the end I beat it twice...I have been painting what seems like forever...and it has been difficult at times...but when there is nothing to give you a good fight or challenge...... you must leave and reverse your path as the same as in painting...I paint for the love of it...and to solve ...
