Ive always wanted to be an artist. So I made up my mind one day in the year 1991. I started making things and havent stopped. I dont try to complicate life or my art. You can admire the simple beauty in it. It may leave you in awe, but its not complicated. This computer is more complicated and frustrating than anything, but its business. I must say, Im glad I have my art to put me back in the right frame of mind. Ive learned more about my art in the past couple of years than I have the previous nineteen years. A couple of years ago an email went out with pictures of my Pine Needle Bears, and my Moose Antler Carvings. It started from friend to friend. I put my email address on it for those who might have any questions. Within two months I was getting 500 emails a day! STRESS!!! I have a hard time reading that much, let alone chicken-pecking this keyboard to answer. They were all so wonderful, though. They kept me going. I never realized the effect my art really had on so many people
