As a child I remember being somewhat moderately poor but happy. Out of three siblings I had two older sisters and one younger brother, I was somewhere in the middle. I was young, impressionable and full of imagination and life. I loved art in all its various forms: painting,drawing and even music. It was in this way that I would learn to express myself. Soon I became known for my artistic talents and the boundless imagination that fueled it.
As far back as I can remember , watching science fiction and horror movies was as synonymous as eating cereal for breakfast for me. Godzilla, War of the Worlds, Attack from Mars, Outerlimits, Twilight Zone, Star Trek, and of course Alfred Hitchcock…to name just a few. These movies and shows added a new dimension to my already vivid imagination. Who knew these things would be the ingredients to kindle a new fire some 40 years later.view less
