I have been artistically inclined from an early age.
As a child I would create things out of cardboard, paper, and anything else I could find. Quite often my parents would find me sitting on the laundry floor, or under a table somewhere quiet ripping off pieces of sticky tape with my teeth!
In my teenage years I spent most of my work time creating elaborate headers for my assignments, which consequently left me with very little time for actual theory work. I was a silly boy, a joker, and not interested in anything serious, especially school.
I failed year 10 twice due to running amok and procrastinating with my studies. One of my high school art teachers told me once that I had such talent and potential, if only I would just apply myself. I didn’t realise the impact of what she was telling me.
I left school without completing it when I was 17, and worked several crap jobs and had children very early.
My art took a back seat to my child rearing and songwriting
At age 30 my marriage ended to my high school sweetheart, so in march 2008, after a year of post separation depression, I started drawing again.
I realised what I had been missing and it started a whirlwind of pencil sketches, acrylic and pastel paintings and photography.
My passion for art and beauty is now stronger than ever!

Writing

Exactly

What is it exactly about your hands, / That my flesh so stubbornly demands? / Perhaps the static from your inner vibrations, / That conducts sensual defibrillations.

Claire

I’ve run out of words now that rhyme with Claire / And I have looked everywhere, yeah

Slow

Slow / Why does it move so slow? / Like time has got no place to go / It just shuffles on / Dragging its feet in the snow

'Twas the Heart

She carries with her a zest for life / Illuminating the night / For no darkness can ever penetrate / Her perpetuating light

Mythological Creature

Babe if we fall in love / It might drive me insane / Because when you have to leave / Your essence will still remain

Equilibrium

Take a good look at yourself in the mirror / If you close your eyes is the picture much clearer? / Now focus on just the glass, not the mirror / Now what would be left with your image bereft?
