I am a great admirer of modern art, particularly of works from the 1920s, which are generally in the public domain. Public domain works are available to everyone. I’m also hand-painting puzzles — mostly greyhounds, and marine creatures such as orcas and salmon symbolic to my home in the Pacific Northwest. I travel a lot and sometimes find myself making puzzles based on charismatic images that caught my imagination during my travels. And finally, I create puzzles using contemporary artworks from the public domain, most of which are made by artists using computer software (which isn’t the same thing as AI).

I am also an author and a local history buff. You can find my books on amazon.
