About Me

My photo
Dean Taylor Drewyer
Hughesville, Virginia, United States
I've been painting and showing since the early 1970s - I love the challenge and the joy of trying to catch time and space and energy in a jar - like a little kid and lightning bugs - I've also been teaching art for the last 32 years - just trying to get kids to see and love the challenge of connecting with art and its process. Enjoy my work and my ramblings - and visit my web site at www.deantaylordrewyer.com. Be careful though - joy can be contagious!
