| As a child, it was my dream to become an artist. I wanted to be successful, not so much in making money (although important to live & to pay bills) but to bring out the beauty of each piece of art work that I did. . . I wanted to make people happy. At age 14, I studied under Joseph Collozie of New York. I worked for wholesalers, from Macy's & Gimbel's department stores. I had to compete with assembly line paintings imported from Europe, and was bought by Arnos and Lansburger. These were the largest importers in the world. This training has made me "The Fastest Artist in the World." I appeared on the Johnny Andrews Show, N.B.C. and with Pat Kirby, the singer. I painted Paris street scenes in 10 minutes. That was in the '50s. Since I don't have to waste a lot of time to produce a painting, I can be reasonable in price, an advantage to the customers. Dixie Crossroads restaurant owner Rodney Thompson has been a launch site for me here in Florida. I Painted Florida wildlife scenes for Laurilee Thompson, (of Dixie CrossRoads Restaurant a birding and naturalist friend) which has inspired me to know all of the details for so many different birds. I also enjoy sculpturing which seems to be a family gift, As my father also loved to sculptor and although no one can duplicate the creators work, Now at 75 years old my dream did come true & I am still painting & enjoying it. I believe that our creator gave every one a different gift. So, In life, if we are able to survive & do what we love in life, "That is a great blessing."
