A Compendium of Art Works

Throughout my life I have worked in various mediums of art. Early in life like other children I colored and filled in comic paper characters with colored crayons. Going farther than that from the First Grade I loved to draw and sketch. This was never supported by my family so I had to wait until high school to really begin to study art. It was there I met an art teacher, Mr. Donald Olsen, who became my mentor and even set me up for a scholarship at the Art Barn in Salt Lake for an entire summer art training. Through my married years (including two marriages) I did very little art work except for a couple of years between marriages when I painted some pictures. Many of these were put in two one-man shows in galleries in Salt Lake where I was able to sell some of them. Writing of books (novels, memoirs, biographies) and poetry became another passion that I followed most of my life eventually publishing several of my books with Kindle/Amazon. Sculptures of a variety of types were also part of my art compendium throughout the years along with crafts and music. All these different genres are presented in this book that brings me up to the present (2016) where I am continuing several art projects as time allows.
