CURRENT MISSION

Seeing the world and doing what I love! Ever since I was a kid I've been surrounded with art, and nothing makes me happier.

ABOUT ME

(This part is written by my friend)
"Prolific artist, humble, sweet guy, really cool, lots of stories, fun to be around, gracious, hard-working, willing to lend a hand" (and I do dishes).

For 38 years I've been around the country making art for churches and selling to individual collectors. I've never been rich, but I've done what I love and that's the most important part.

PHILOSOPHY

It's good to go through life giving more than taking.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I am new to this website, I haven't really participated yet in the couch surfing experience it offers, though I hope to get some good reviews up here soon by the good people of Ithaca.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly I care about doing my drawings and paintings. As long as I have a place where I can draw, I'm happy. I don't really go out to eat too much but I love to cook. I like to go to coffeeshops to meet the friendly people there and go to work. I am happy to lend a hand wherever I stay to help make my stay amicable. I can't tell you how grateful I am that people such as yourselves help me to do what I do.

Centres d'intérêt

Art! I draw and paint for my living; it is my passion. I've lived on the road for 38 years drawing and painting to survive. Find a job you love and you'll never work a day in your life!
