MY GREATEST PRIDE & JOY IN MY LIFE IS MY DAUGHTER!
I received the nickname Wolfspirit in 1980.
I was born in 1959 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA. I have been married, a father, divorced, and the marriage annulled. I have worked as a Scientist, Youth Minister, Financial Worker, Computer Technician, Crisis Intervention Specialist, Research Associate, and Psychiatric Counselor and now as a disabled Artist, Actor and Catholic Worker. I'm Oblate of the Order of Saint Benedict; which means I practice monastic contemplative spirituality as a lay monk while living in the secular world. I am a self-taught artist and hope that you enjoy my works as much as I do making them. My love for art began when I was a child, fascinated by colors of nature, skies, and especially manned spaceflight. For many years, I just made art for a hobby.
At the age of 38, while working as a Crisis Counselor, an agitated psych patient attempted to break my neck , rendering me permanently disabled and nearly losing my life. I had to lie on my back and be still. In this state, I began marking up discarded CD discs and liked the reflective effect. My art came about because of meditation and prayer. Some of the pieces generated are rather abstract, but still have a spiritual aspect.
In 2005, I began to make my artwork with the Interact Center (www.interactcenter.com); a one-of-a-kind organization dedicated to work with disabled artists and actors. Since that time I have been exploring this brave new world of the Disabled Artist and Actor. I work with balloon animals at community events. I enjoy helping people and having them laugh aloud when I work.
Stay tuned, as I am moving into and now expanding my proficiency in Acting in Performance, Theater, Film other art media as well.
Who I'd like to meet: Jesus, Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Auguste Renoir, Beatrix Potter, Dr. Seuss, Thomas Edison, Nicola Tesla, Michaelangelo, MC Escher, Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish, Dali, Walt Disney, Gary Larson, Matt Groening, Superman, Nadia Comaneci, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley,the Beatles, George Lucas, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg,Steve Martin, Jim Carey, Drew Carey, Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Mike Myers, Carol Burnett, Oprah Winfrey, Jim Henson, Richard Bach, Scott Adams, Jack Canfield, Wayne Dyer, ET, Stephen Hawking
