I am a self taught artist in New York, actually the Bronx is my new home. I was a child who grew up with undiagnosed ADHD and learning disabilities which made me feel I was different and an underachiever. My gift of learning art as a way to escape my childhood trauma was my only asset. However I was scared of school and never went to college. I attended the High School of Art & Design but my inability to believe I could support myself with art became the Master of giving up and falling prey to a 30 year artist block.
This blog is for everyone who has ever given up on their creativity. At the age of 50 I took back my soul and became the artist I always was meant to be.
YOU CAN TOO!
Thank you for your wisdom – gift this Christmas day…

Love your point of view on “don’t try to be famous.” Excellent advice for anyone in the arts. I teach music – I’ll share that with my students.

Hope that 2016 will be the year we get what we had hoped for. I have dealt with so much BS in my life, too. My touch is ‘Inverse Midas’.
