Ambitious Artist Raw
no reason
no logic
just physical and emotional


just barely holding on


my paintings were determined to have something to say


Portrait of an ambitious artist

Over time I have changed
Through multiple starting points and many opportunities, I evolved


How did authority get inside of my head?
A mind forged by manacles

It was so primitive From the 1860s to 1950s They were seemingly untreatable They were feared  There was panic Colonies within a colony
A prison for the sick Of appalling living conditions Enforcing social isolation GRIM and SHAME

1981 An Ambitious Artist
Back in ‘81  When  Times were fun  As a fine artist  With ambition in mind  I thought of life
