Let's See!

 I'm mostly self-taught and I work passionately to improve my skill and hone my gift all the time.
  In 1976 I  received a straight 'A' transcript in Art, Architecture, Fashion, Design and Cuisine from the American Institute for Foriegn Study when I attended summer classes in Rome, Paris, London, Moscow, Sochi and Lenningrad after I graduated from high school.

In the following years, I did thousands of portraits, painted murals, worked doing sign painting and graphics for M&P Sign and Carving Company, a subsidiary of Red Lion /Thunderbird Corporation,  Sabco Advertising Sign company and hundreds of freelance jobs for small businesses in Washington and Oregon and countless fine art pieces.I painted  windows at Christmas and Halloween and numerous other ventures.
  Twenty years later I attended Clark College. During Portfolio class, a panel of professors from the art department, agreed that I could do any job in the art feild equally as well without them teaching me a thing.
  The head of the art department, Warren Dunn, said I was his favorite student of all time and copied my portfolio to use an an example in the Design course.

They also said I am a natural born teacher.
