Growing up in the 1950 I have been witnessing 7 decades of American life and culture. This memoire is how that life has transitioned from the eyes of a small child, through a greater personal and world view with the developing eyes of an artist. My life is at last, able to in part, the connection of all life on earth and beyond to the universe or universes as I gaze in wonder at the stars or marvel at microscopic images. A memoire reflects it all.
