Initially I studied music at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, majoring in composition. I was drafted into the US Army right before my senior year. Circumstances changed and I decided to study art at the Maryland Institute College of Art, from where I graduated in 1961. In the middle 80’s I decided to get, and got, my masters from Towson University.
I have taught at Morgan State University, Catonsville Community, Essex Community and Towson University.
I also lead my own Big Band for which I write and arrange all the music.
I was awarded the professional Gold Medal from the Arthur Murray School of Dancing, where I taught dancing to earn my conservatory tuition.
I am also a professional Astrologer, certified by the American Federation of Astrologers.
I have written and published three books:
My God, here there, everywhere (spiritual)
The Force is with You (How to create for yourself a good and happy life)
Declinations and the Vertical Zodiac (Astrology specific)
For the past 11 years I have been holding ‘Ballroom Dancing at the Belvedere’ here in Baltimore every Wednesday evening, where I teach beginners ballroom dancing and then play music to dance to.
I converted my two-door garage into an atelier/gallery, where I do all my painting.
I love what I do and enjoy life, because I do what I love – music, painting, dancing, teaching (and playing Bridge)!
Music, painting and dancing are closely related disciplines and the work I do and skill I develop in one of them spills over into the other two.
My art philosophy:
“If God can create 1000000 beautiful sunsets in less than a second, then He can certainly create some beautiful art through me, provided I remove my ego from the process, which I try to do. Thus I consider myself the brush and all the credit goes to Him.
