Making Art And Keeping Sane During The Pandemic Helps Me Reveal The Hidden Personalities Of Dogs And Cats And Their Human Counterparts!

Right now, as a musician and singer-songwriter as well as an artist, things have slowed down to a crawl. Whereas normally I would be booking shows, playing the blues with my band to happy dancing crowds, that is all gone!

As for making art, this downtime has been a path to finding inspiration in unlikely places and trying to find things that will give some joy and hopefully a laugh or smile to the viewer.
