We live in an age where we have the luxury of creating our own identity. I have chosen to call myself an Artist and Craftsman. These are, at least, titles I aspire to even if not always fully deserved. My mother was an artist by the same loose definition and my father was a craftsman. Together they showed me each of us have a unique way of seeing our world, and that if we try, we can share our perspective with others through art. Sometimes, when everything aligns just right, this exchange is magical.
