Dayton Art Academy, Cincinnati Art Academy and Sinclair College has been my art and academic education. I spent 40 years in the graphic design industry while creating paintings in my free time. I have had paintings in galleries and museums in Ohio and Kentucky. I was one of the 339 artists selected out of 1,700 artists from 46 states and 8 countries to be published in a HUD National Art Competition booklet to promote creative environmental usage of art. This booklet was then distributed nationwide.
