About The Artist Page

Upon nearing early retirement at age 62 my wife decided to enroll me in an adult education watercolor class. Well I really took to it and struggled for about a year. I joined the Mid Michigan Art guild as a way of meeting new artist and gaining knowledge of the art world.

My art work is available at Walking Horse Gallery & Gifts, 1212 Turner Street , Lansing, MI 48906. Phone 517-484-3545
