So maybe friends and family are right and I should elaborate on the above haiku. I am primarily music-creative over visually expressionist. My parents taught me to play piano and guitar from an early age and that start carried me through to graduate school where I wrote and played my own compositions for classical guitar.
Unfortunately I developed tendonitis while practicing Bach. Most likely I wasn't breathing correctly and airflow to the bloodstream was constricted and swiftly my left arm was in a cast while I watched and listened to others make music.
I read quite a bit during the therapy sessions and took art classes. I recovered enough to perform again with the aid of yoga, which allows one to treat the entire body as a single string, or tendon, thus loosing the areas that can get tight and asphyxiated.
I moved to California and made a couple of recordings and then to New Mexico where I was an usher at the opera. From there I moved to New York to be in a rock band.
When that didn't pan out and I felt tired of the guitar always leading one back to the E chords I realized painting was a greater challenge. I worked as a security guard and filled many sketch books while on post.
My paintings started out as figurative with a heavy emphasis on finding the triangles that occur naturally in nature. Although I now handle art I still benefit form the surroundings of an encyclopedic collection.
