ABOUT THE ARTIST
I was born and grew up in Boulder, Colorado. I had the Rocky
Mountains in my backyard, and I got to see the “summer of love”
through the eyes of an eleven year old in a college town. I watched
Lost in Space in the third grade, when G.I. Joe was new, and Star
Trek after that. Ray Harryhausen’s movies were favorites. Needless
to say, Science Fiction and Fantasy consumed my childhood. Later,
in my teens, I discovered Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, and Dungeons
and Dragons not long after. I’ve been Role-Playing for 25+ years!
As an adult I became fascinated with Mythology, particularly
transformative mythology and the hidden meanings of Myth. Joseph
Campbell is a hero of mine for his thoughtful and thorough
exploration of the World’s Myths.
