I had a great time listening to interesting presenters at the Board Game Academics Conference at the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, NY this past weekend. It was a fabulous experience immersed in the history and current culture of board games and toys! #boardgames #tabletopgames #gamedesign

New mission statement: I believe in the human experience conveyed through placing paint.

My belief isn’t new - saying it in that way is new for me. #creativity #art #motivation #painting
The photograph shows a hand-written note taped to a wall with an edge of a painting visible in the left edge of the foreground. The note says, “I believe in the human experience conveyed through placing paint.”
