Thank you for your welcome and interest. To answer your inquiry in brief, i'm a classical pianist and vocalist who has always felt a need to create something that remains tangible. Hence painting ( watercolors), potting, drawing, and now, polymer clay ( 10 yrs) provide great satisfaction. My avatar is my very first attempt at the human figure. It is called " political balance". It stands on one foot. He winks while gesturing hello and has his fingers crossed behind his back. That was 4 yrs ago and i've never looked back. Again, thanks for asking. I'm so looking forward to the people and knowledge coming forth from this site!
