I am a professional artist, writer and photographer. I have a studio and spend much of my time there. I enjoy reading over watching television, in fact, I do not own one. I read mostly classic American fiction and natural history books. I enjoy fishing for trout and hunting for grouse. I love exploring the woods and lakes around my home. I revel in my garden, and cooking what I grow. I don't like clubs, or parties. I am a quiet man who enjoys peace and nature. I enjoy doing all of my own home repair and upkeep. My goal is to keep learning everyday and to gain appreciation for others talents.
