My greatest influence and inspiration in life is attributed to my Grandfather Leo. He sat me on his knee and told me stories of he and my Father traveling accross the Country in a 1932 Ford and visiting the Rocky Mountains. Those stories from the age of four through six fully inspired me to travel to the western United States, there I found the Rocky Mountains.  I witnessed the first hand beauty of the Mountain Wild Flower. Experiencing that, drove me in earnest to "Paint" those flowers in unusual ways. With inspiration from God I ended up doing what I have done for the last 25+years, now I venture into other visual areas.
