Interview by Jimon<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1-Where do you live and create at the moment?\u00a0 <\/strong>I live\u00a0 with my wife and three lovely Persian kitties in a house in San Jose, CA.<\/p>\n

2-Where did you study art and do you think Art school was necessary for your process?\u00a0 <\/strong>I didn't go to art school. My degree was in English\/literature, and I worked in high tech until I retired earlier this year. Now I am a full time artist and I feel like a kid during summer vacation.<\/p>\n

Although I didn't go to art school, I've\u00a0taken quite a few workshops from artists I admire. I also regularly spend time studying art that resonates with me and seeking out new\u00a0inspirations. I've got a collection of books by artists I love, and I can flip through any one of these to relight my burners if I'm feeling blocked.<\/p>\n

So, for me, art school wasn't a requirement. However, I think it might have been nice to get some of the basics -- techniques, color theory, etc. Even just the forced practice\/discipline might have expanded my skill set.<\/p>\n
