Driven by passion...
Determined to rise above obstacles...
This page used to contain a load of
information about how Art got a start in painting due to a
disastrous accident. Sorry, if you are looking for sad
stories, no more of that.
Sure, Art once spent some time in a
hospital, landed in a wheelchair, and had a bit of a tough time
getting his life started again, but that is history - ancient
history. More importantly, he was encouraged to
"take up the brush," by a well-meaning friend and he
almost instantly took a liking to it. From that moment on
he was devoted, practicing every week, taking courses and
eventually turning his home into a studio.
Art's work is about exploring the
possibilities, expanding the limits of his talents and
inspiring others. It's about passion and expression and
fearlessness. To face challenges and succeed in spite of
the size and scope of the obstacles. What would life to
be without challenges? - Damn boring, I would have to say.
Life for Art used to be all about driving
at the business goals, from early in the morning until the wee
hours of the next. Now it's about being happy, making
other people laugh or smile and helping out when he can.
Make no mistake, he is still driven, but in a more calm
and contented way.
Good health, happiness and success to all!
