Bicycling is an important part of my life-journey (click to enlarge)

I started riding some

30 years ago. I had

always ridden in my

youth and it came very

my naturally to me.

To be alone on the bike,

free and surrounded by

the sights and sounds

of nature is very sensual

and exciting. Biking is

also very philosophical

and "humbling". I learned

be alone with and enjoy ME,

the person. I learned to take

what THE ROAD AND THE WIND

WOULD GIVE ME and to enjoy

every moment. I also learned

to SEE.

I have been cartooning my whole life (click on to enlarge)

I started cartooning

when I was 7 yrs old.

It never stopped.

I have files full of the

faces that escaped from

my mind as I listened

to lectures from

grade school on.

In classes , in workshops,

in meetings of all kinds,

they flowed on to the

edgeds of my notes.

I officialy cartooned for

the Akron U paper and for

Army publications.

ABOUT ME

An Akron native and a graduate of Akron U and Kent State, I taught English and Theater in Akron area schools.Then I served as Director of Health Education for the City of Akron Health Department.

In 1985 I started a business as a lecturer/workshop leader, making over 3000 presentations in the past 30 years, to local, state, national, and international organizations, speaking on physical health, the mind/body connection, self-esteem, humor/laughter, and dimensions of wellness

My drawings, cartoons, and graphic designs have appeared in the

U.S. Army, Akron University, and Akron area agency publications.
Since 1985, I have been exploring my artistic expression, through collage, painting, and photography.

My most popular photo, PARIS IMPRESSIONS, was in a national show presented by The Lexington KY Art League in 2003

A photograph of my Akron Ohio street in the Fall, selected as “Photo of the Day” by America OnLine, has been downloaded by some 4000 individuals all over the U.S.

My work has been singled out for honors in the shows of the Akron Camera Club, the Artists of Rubber City, the Canton Jewish Center, the Cuyahoga Valley Art Center and ARTSPACE of Summit County, and in the prestigious Six State Photography Exhibition, in Oberlin, Ohio as well as the Ohio State Fair juried Fine Arts Exhibit.
