Fabulous work from you here; am looking forward to more even though I’ve been an artist “behind the scenes” since 1963, dipped in and out of the Cleveland Institute of Art, Art Student’s League, spent a year as an art major at Kent State*, AND had been admitted to Tyler School of Art, RISD, & Parsons.
So why “behind the scenes”? Have been practicing law /still do but am in midst of “emerging” and planning a Substack here, galleries in Smugmug and other places, and a run for Art Basel, etc.
*Irrationally Chickened out being far away from home, then May 4, 1970 happened at Kent State & I left never going back to any art school because back then I could not figure out how to make a living as an artist. Now I think such questions are much easier to answer for a wide variety of reasons.
Thanks for the intro and thoughtful comments Phyllis. My elder sister, joined Billie Jean King's Virginia Slims woman's professional tennis players the day she turned 18. So it wasn't hard for be to dive into an art career from the beginning. Though it is best to live modestly and do art one loves. Thank you for your enthusiasm, I hope to do a good job on this book!
