My work centers around gay rights issues. More about my work can be seen in my blog " Manifesto" I believe it worth reading because one gets a good idea about how serious I am about Gay rights. I can not do much physically but I hope somehow my art makes the bigots think and maybe get the point " we are here, we are Queer, get used to it"

I grew up in foster homes in St.-Louis missouri. At seventeen my mother signed me into the navy and I was kick out after six months later because I am gay. At nineteen (1950) I rejoined the navy and was honorably discharged in 1954. In 1956 I met a young man who became my lover. We lived together until his death in 1997. Then I began taking life drawing classes at a local community collage.
