I love most anything old, from a door to an old building, to my favorite - Old and
Weathered faces. As I travel around the world, some of the photos I have taken
in foreign coun tries are truly inspirational |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I tarted painting years ago, I always in
positions that were, naturally stressful. I tried painting and fell in love immediately. Not only did it relieve any tensions, but also brought out my creativity

| Your Personal Biography |
Retired Marketing Executive, painting for over 30 years - self taught - except for a two year stint under the tutelage of Ilona Rittler, a very fine Hungarian artist,and teacher, trained in Vienna.
