My art offers images and tells stories about one moment of life on our shared planet in the cosmos. My story includes protesting as a hippie social change activist in Austin, Texas, graduating from the Texas LBJ School of Public Affairs, serving 14 years as innovative elected Councilman and Mayor, training at the Atelier Dojo Fine Arts Academy and successfully leading a national nonprofit service enterprise for many years. All of these experiences contributed to an impression of our inner and outer worlds expressed through my realistic artwork.
