I started out as a farm child in the deep center of Iowa. Interested in art, but told that artwork is no way to earn money, I attended the state college to become an architect. Along the way, I've lived in Chicago, Boston and Denver, always as an architect.

I grew weary of the corporate world and left the button down collar world to work with my wife, also an architect. We currently run our own office, Moore Koenigsberg Architecture.

In 2003, I traveled all the way to Maine to attend Haystack, which is an artist colony. It was there that I realized that art could be a career and I've been pursuing that ever since.

I n the past, I have done abstract figurative artwork, but in recent months, I've been distracted. My life has been in a holding pattern while I build our house in the mountains. This is the reason I returned to abstract work.
