Let me begin by saying that my art has saved my life. Many times in the last 50 years doodling has been my medicine or, better put, my meditation! It has evolved into therapeutic and spiritual practice. I always carry a pencil and pad with me and find myself doodling! It takes my mind off any anxiety I may have.

Because my doodles have always been exactly that! Just doodles! I didn’t see anything particular until I started to see faces in my crude drawings. Some were very revealing and detailed so naming, dating, and signing my creations was the next step.

I just want to emphasize that each piece always starts as a doodle with absolutely no rhyme or reason and low and behold almost always ends up being a face. All I have to do is turn the art upside down or sideways and a face appears. I just add an eye, ear, nose, and mouth.

I hope that if you choose one that strikes your fancy that you enjoy it, as much as I have, creating it.
