Becoming a therapist at the age of 58 seemed a logical progression of a lifetime of making art that tried to understand how I thought, felt, as well as how that fit with others viewpoints. I use art to work through my issues, I use art to help others do so as well. I’ve taught at major art schools, had some professional success at a young age, that I derailed by falling into addiction. The journey has been one of ups and downs, as life usually is.
