The short version: "I joke I learned to draw and paint because it is easier for me than getting a good photograph."  I work in charcoal, pastels, watercolor, acrylic, and oil paint and enjoy making beautiful things like flowers and animals.  The longer version is on my blog's "About the Artist" page.

I am a disabled (US Army) veteran, married to a disabled (US Army) veteran, and we live at the dead end of a dirt road in a rural part of Florida.
