About

Inspired by the true artists in my family, my mother, Ann Franz, and my brother, James J. Franz, I decided to follow their lead and see if I had any talent. The galleries on this site will let you decide.

Representations of things I love, find interesting and, lately, feel very strongly about, are what you see here and will see in the future. Retirement has given me more blessed free time and creative energy to pursue my art. What drives me to paint or draw is the meditative quality of total immersion into the process and the end result of having a tangible thing to look at and enjoy. How we live our lives and form an attitude and belief about ourselves ends up with the phrase “My life is my art.” This is my truth. What is yours?
