Summary

I am a stage four cancer survivor, 10 years cancer free. I worked in the construction field most of my career. In all the different trades. Finally settling with electrical. Chasing that Mighty Dollar. Then I was diagnosed with cancer and it changed my life. I no longer could work in the electrical field. So I return to my first love that I had put on the back burner for years. Which is making art. Drawing portraits and paintings. Selling them on commission while also being on Social Security disability. I taught drawing classes out of my home last summer and thoroughly enjoyed it. Realizing my true calling in life. Now as a substitute teacher. I'm able to teach art in many different schools and Inspire the next generation of artists. While I continue create art in my studio.
