I have been doing some sort of art since my college days. I became a scuba diver in 1981, and an instructor in 1987. Since then, my artwork has primarily become of the underwater variety! Mermaids included! I have fine art canvases with acrylic and oil, and my specialty is hand-painted shoes! They are painted with fabric paint and scotch-guarded. They are durable and washable. I paint natural objects, such as stone, wood, and shells, and I refurbish jewelry boxes with paint, shells, sea glass and beads.
