In 1982, I was voted as class artist by my graduating class at Enfield High School
in Enfield Connecticut.

This gallery contains a mixture of paintings and drawings which were created many years ago when I was in high school and some soon after I graduated, but before I became a Christian (B.C. - Before Christ) in 1984.

In high school I was very focused on art having taken every art and graphic arts class available. When they ran out of art classes for me to take, they put me in an independent study where I would attend the regular art classes, but instead of doing the assignments that the rest of the class was doing, I was doing my own advanced art studies assignments.

In addition to art I was very much interested in acting and had been involved in the school's theater arts and drama clubs from 7th through 12th grade. During that time I had participated in all aspects of theater production ranging from set design to walk on parts, lead roles and even singing a solo as Cornelius Hackel in Hello Dolly. For a while I had considered pursuing a career in acting, but my artistic desires won out.
