While still relatively young, PD entered my life.  All that I wanted to do was rapidly disappearing, becoming difficult and very frustrating.  Parkinson’s has taken a lot.  My Parkinson’s medications have greatly awakened my creative output and desires. These drugs increase my dopamine, a chemical in the brain that regulates movement.  Dopamine is gradually depleted as Parkinson's progresses, so boosting the dopamine neurotransmitter allows me to retain regular movement and regain some control of my body.  A “creative awakening” indeed.  There is probably not much consistency to my work, as I’m constantly exploring and utilizing new ideas, mediums, materials, and creative outlets.  My medications, a good support team, the encouragement of many, and a positive mindset, have given me a much greater need to create and design.  Not sure what I’ll come up with, or pursue, next.  Now I can’t keep up with all the ideas and projects I have.

 

 

      My art provides a great amount of joy.  I’m very passionate about creating.  With a positive attitude, wide open eyes, and endless creative stimulation, I’m enjoying the journey.  I’m proud of my work because it’s unique.  I’m proud of my work because it has given pleasure to others.  I’m proud of my work because it heals.  It is the best medication I take.

 

​

      I reside in Cottonwood Heights, Utah with my wife Nancy.  Together we enjoy dancing in the kitchen, watching things grow, and the company of Little Winston, a Scottish Terrier.  Because of the many positive reviews, successes/achievements, what started as a curiosity has become a very healing journey.

​

Be kind to all, never grow up, and do something that makes you happy.

 

Cheers
