     "Later I left the rat race behind and settled in Namibia.

     Painting the landscape and animals in oils, acrylics, and watercolour.

     My studio in Usakos includes three art studios, and a framing studio.

     In good times I spend money on materials and all the art supplies, and in

     bad times I am able to survive on what I have for a long time, here in the          desert, like a seven day camel .

     The studios I built myself."
