California raised, living in NYC
I've been a painter all my life, always an artist with a day job. I was a Chef for most of the first 30 years of working life.
When I wasn't a Chef, my day jobs included Co-Director at an Art Gallery, Development Director at an NPR station and a Building Manager for an international slumlord.
For the past 12 years, my day job has been a Web Designer - Social Media Producer at a retail store.
Currently, I mostly make art with an iPhone for online sharing and have fun sussing out the Social Web.

Young Spanish singer, Concha Buika brings creative justice to the timeless Rancheras
via youtube.com
A couple of weeks ago I belatedly discovered Chavela Vargas, the monumental Mexican Ranchera singer, I've been rockn her powerful, heart-breaking performances on my playlists since.
This week, I've caught on to a new, young Spanish singer, Concha Buika, who loves Chavela and does creative justice to the timeless Rancheras. Her album has the great Cuban pianist, Chucho Valdés, backing her craggy, gypsy-sounding voice as they bring the deep, sorrowful beauty of José Alfredo Jiménez songs to an international audience.
You should take the serious, admiring tone of my description, that I am touched.
