Yes

Well,
I have traveled a little, lived in a few places (St. Thomas, NYC and now Seattle).
I have studied and worked in the wine trade as an independent consultant (NYC) and as a Sommelier (read "pack mule") in several WS Grand Award restaurants, which aside from being absolutely fascinating and mysterious, has also allowed me to pursue my art.
I recently formed a company around my art "affliction" or is it "enthusiasm"?
I am a full-time professional artist.
I started painting with oil in 1996, I'm still painting (oil, mixed-media and acrylics). I have a rigorous studio practice which keeps me engaged and looking. There is beauty in my life, and I am always learning something. I am excited to meet re-meet many of you. Fascinating how this life grows and changes, and shapes us. See yawl in the HOT!
