Hi George, I just wanted to drop you a quick line to thank you for posting at mentalhealthamerica.net/feelslike.  Your City sketch was so simple,  yet               so powerful! Can’t wait to see more from you!  -  Danielle Fritze / Director of Public Education & Visual Communications / Mental Health America / May 2016

After a dormancy of some 40 years, thanks to social media and people like Peter Bruun, I have people interested in my artwork.

About My Art Work

I started drawing in grade school. Some pieces were displayed in what was at the time, Loch Raven Elementary School.  The only formal training I had was a summer art class, and a Jon Gnagy "Learn to Draw" kit.

It was during the time I studied with Jessica Williams that my creativity was unleashed, in visual art as well as music. 

Initially it was painting with watercolor and acrylics, then drawings with marker pens.  Then it was pen & ink drawings.

More of an effort to deal with the unrelenting depression that engulfed me during my 25th year, the focus of these were more to outwardly express the emotional turmoil I was experiencing, rather then being something to showcase technique.

After my late wife, Jane Lamar-Spicka suffered a severe sciatic nerve injury, which effectively sidelined our music careers, those drawings took on an ever greater sense of hopelessness.  What saved me from termination was the advent of anti-depressants, first Prozac, then Effexor XR.

Interestingly enough, though my visual art output ceased, the music aspect kept right on going.  This has now been joined by photos and videos.
