I am a fine artist.  I had a very successful career teaching art for 35 years in the Maine Township High School District #207, Park Ridge, Illinois, USA.  I also taught Adult  Art Education.   I have won numerous awards as an artist and as an art teacher.   I work in all media, including oils, acrylics, alkyds, drawings, etching, and lithography  as well as digital art and calligraphy. My work ranges from realistic to abstract landscapes that evoke a poetic, whimsical attitude bordering on fantasy.  All of my work is original and protected by copy write.

I am married to Lorna for 48 years this next August 28, 2008.  We live in Rolling Meadows, Illinois  We have three grown married sons, and five grandchildren.
