My family lived in GreyBull Wyoming when I was born. Later, I lived between Denver and Boulder – a few streets away from the wheat fields that ranged all the way to Canada. I Graduated with a BS in Graphic Design from California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly).

I have always created art and still have the drawing I made in Kindergarten of a fire truck – I even drew the wheel wells correctly – with “Deddie” in huge letters on the back.

After Cal Poly, I attended several workshops – learning how to make sculpture in all mediums; sculpted the figure from live models; and participated in, and directed, many bronze pours.

My career was spent producing all forms of graphic design products for clients. In the last three years, I’ve concentrated on creating, showing, and selling fine art that is a pleasure for others to view and own.

One medium I work with is cement (it took about 5 years to work up the courage to work with cement :-). Also, I love making fun kinetic art with wire in combination with other materials.

My interests, besides art, range from history, ancient art, archeology (we are living, now, in someone’s history), geology, cosmology, how the clouds above the red cliffs in Utah glow pink reflecting the landscape below, how historical humans survived, and even ancient aliens (you never know) :-).

I live with baskets of collected rocks and bones gathered on walks with my dog Kikki, and an eclectic art collection to feed my passion for living among art.
