nkimadams' photostream

An old man with time to read and think. A retired music teacher with 36 years spent in the public schools. A pianist who plays Bach for his daily prayer. A poet, a writer of prose, a devoted Jungian who holds daily conversations in his Round Table.
I come from a family of artists but only began doing my own graphic work in 1995 six years before my retirement. I studied pen and ink drawing for 6 years, then did a couple of years of watercolors, then since 2003 have been bitten by the big bad collage bug. Flickr keeps me going -- all the nice comments from interested and interesting artists. I basically developed my own style that I think is recognizable as art by nkimadams.
Oh, I'm from Minnesota, USA but born raised out in the wilds of Minot, North Dakota.

"How can I begin to describe the depth of the relationship I have with my oldest brother David. He has been my seer, my mentor, my guru, my inspiration and my best friend. I have known him all my life. He did not really get into the visual arts full time until after his retirement. In these past few years has grown enormously in whatever he sets his mind to conquer next, whether it is water color, sumi ink or his fabulous collages. He is definitely a genius, yet his intelligence never gets in the way of his fanciful, imaginative and humorous way of looking at the world. As is evident from his work. I can honestly say I love this guy like he was my brother!!"
