I have always been a doodler—drawing or sketching to pass the time—something I watched my Dad do. His doodles made modern and abstract art seem very “normal.” In December 2019 I decided to branch out from performing music to have fun with a new medium.
I’m also inspired by George Hitchcock of Santa Cruz, California, a well-known poet, who began to paint imaginative, humorous and whimsical works of art in his eighties. His partner, Marjorie Simon, as well as my family, have encouraged me to have fun and experiment.
