Bio

The Bio of 2004 is down there. Since then everything has changed. I finally returned to my home and it was not pretty. Fortunately I like to hang paintings at eye level because the water only got four feet in the house. The paintings in the French Quarter looked fresh. I sold my cart to a man on the street. He's giving it to his son to sell art on Jackson Square. I'm still painting in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Yes, yes, the kids are fine and Nicole is very fine. And the cats came with.

The thread that has bound all my experience in New Orleans has been paint. I moved here in 98 and painted my landlord’s house. I got with a French Quarter restoration crew and slapped paint on a few more places. I became an art teacher for the unspeakable Orleans Parish School District. My classroom had a lot of paint around it by the time I was asked to leave. I tried my hand on Jackson Square, and now it’s been four years.

Nicole and I have been together eight years - got married May 2001. Do you like babies? Our daughter Tabitha and our son Gavin appear numerously in the Photo Gallery. They are not for sale. So anyway, right now I’m painting our house. And the cat came back.
