Ok… to be honest we met about 27 years ago… uhh… and I married her. This is painting of a trailer wreck in the desert that her dad came upon in 1957. She has a whole series devoted to his photos of hot rodding in the 1950’s.

My dad designed and built this 800 sq. ft. modern house… my mom Lucy met him as he was pounding the for sale sign into the dirt in 1954. She lived here until she passed away in 2004. I grew up here.
