I am 70 years old, have been involved in some art form most of my life. I have 4 daughters, 5 grandsons and one granddaughter. I have a BA in Art/Art History, but as I needed to make a living for me and my four daughters and became fascinated with welding, I became a "street artist". I have stopped doing art shows as sales were down and expenses up. I still have a couple galleries that carry my work. I am exploring the internet as a way to interact with artists and patrons. I find that I need feedback from those who view my work, all comments help, even negative ones. I also need to see and relate with other artists. We are all on a journey thru life, like the people in the Canterbury Tales, I would like to hear your story as I tell you mine. I have a website at http://www.joygibat.com/
