Artist Statement

I began to paint when I found myself in a city after 10 years in the Alaska bush. I just could'nt cope with cement and with all the energy of the people, so I found and old piece of wood and began to "paint". I am not a trained painter and don't care about being one. I am a storyteller with a paintbrush. My music is about storytelling also. On my daddy's side there are many storytellers and musicians so I guess it's part inherited and part me. My stories are true. I don't judge art, I feel it. My paintings have saved me. Don't wait for the storm to pass, dance in the rain.
