I'm a sixty year old African American who's been creating pretty good art work throughout my life. Most people said I was born gifted with the ability to draw naturally. I went to college anyway to futher my education in the arts where I learned a lot that I feel helped my talent and ability to produce good art work, maybe even excellent art work. I loved college and enjoyed the time spent there as a student. I live in Maryland which is a small state, but it has some good art schools. I went to a two year college first, where I graduate with two associate degrees in art. I went to the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland, where I graduated with my bachelor degree in Studio Art. After I graduated I was accepted into the graduate program to continue my studies in the Master's program at Maryland University. Unfortunely my funds ran low and I took a job as a lawncare technician with Trugreen. I still work and paint often with two mediums at this time, pencil and acrylic paints. I've started a small business called Farbe Graphic Co. which reproduces my work and other artist work for sale. At this time I'm saving to purchase a wide format printer for reproductions. It's pretty expense, so I'm still saving the necessary funds. I'm working to do some local shows of my larger paintings to gain some recognization in my hometown, which I need to further my career as an artist. I'm sure I will be creating art work for the rest of my life, who knows, I might become famous in my own lifetime. What do you think? Well art is my life, and I enjoy working as much as possible. I've complete one book, which is called 'The Black Hills A Buffalo Soldier's Story, and I'm writing another story called the 'The Affair'. I love playing the guitar, and have been playing for five years. I feel I'm pretty good, but need to study and play more chords to balance out my musical harmony. Anyway I've enjoyed all the support I've received from the good people in F.A.R. Thanks a lot, it helps.
