At Least I Didn't Cut Off My Ear
“May your child be an artist” doesn’t sound like a curse but
the struggles of being an artist are shown in this memoir by a retired art
professor who illustrates how a creative life in sculpture started early and progressed to became a calling.

College art curriculum stories lead to starting a pottery in a converted barn, deciding to hand build a house, sculpture to live in of course, all while being married to another artist and raising three great children is full of detail documenting the wife for sainthood and illustrates what the children say about their youth as being raised by artists; how normal is it to build large sculpture pieces in a living room while the house is still being built? Retirement has brought time to read and the book ends with suggested readings that developed into a list of absurdities, a review of contemporary American culture that steps on a lot of toes.

About the Author

Author came from a family of educators and he thought he knew all about teaching and didn’t want any part of it. He wanted to be an artist, had minimal training before art school but there he found his calling and decided he wanted to teach art. Beside teaching art for almost forty years he kept active in his own creative production; began a pottery, was the winner of three public art commissions, built his own house (as a piece of sculpture to live in), and wrote 100 Things Every College Freshman Ought to Know used in over one hundred colleges and universities.
