Artist’s statement

I grew up in North Conway, educated in the various schools of my time and ended my formal education in 1970 when I took off for Europe. Travel became my Educator; art being absorbed through the various ancient artifacts that made up the enormous landscape all the way to Nepal.

I have been able to manifest my artistic talent through the College of Hardknocks with a degree in Trial and Error. My stubbornness seemed to be the constant throughout, hating to quit and rejoicing in success. Probably no different than getting a PhD, just less formal. I would be very remiss in not mentioning all my Dear Friends and Family that encouraged me every step of the way. My emotional door stops.

Tamworth has always been on my radar having been introduced to the town back in the 1960’s. I’ve had a variety of sojourns here but nothing that stuck. Now I rejoice in the beauty that makes up this town, the countryside, these majestic mountains and woods. It nourishes my spirit and feeds my expressions of Art.

Thanks to the generosity of the Cook Memorial Library, I’ve been given the opportunity to “show off” as it were. My “Last Ditch” show represents some of the work I’ve created since way back when. I can tell you for certain that I’m kind of awed. I mean, I did so much!! Some of it great, some of it just meant as memories of another time in my life.

I hope you enjoy it.
