I am an artist who has been painting and sculpting for 65 years. I taught at Notre Dame University and then at the University of Arizona where I became the Head of the Art department in 1986, which is now a School of Art. I have exhibited my art throughout the USA and in Germany, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Russia and Australia. I am represented by Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery in Tucson. I have been invited to show my paintings in the Venice Biennale in 2026. The chance to have my art seen by thousands of viewers from around the globe in such a prestigious setting will be amazing. Shipping and related costs are far more than I can afford. Thus I am setting up a GOFUNDME to help offset the costs. I thank you in advance for helping me to respond to this opportunity.
