About

Thank you for visiting this site.  I have assembled this site to honor my father's dedication to his craft, to share my journey in purposeful creativity, and to encourage new generations.  This site includes three generations for your exploration.  It is new, and will continue to hone and improve over time.

Francis L.S. is my father, and he painted into his early nineties.  I have been painting in oils since my twenties, and hope to enjoy my evolving craft as long as my father.  My daughters are exposed by two generations of painting and exposure to art, and encouraged to express their inner voices, as well.

In the spring of 2020, I created a site called Opti.genarian. I created this for my mother and her vibrant, senior friends. It is both a work in progress as a curated collection of content, to be a click away for seniors sheltered-in-place. In the hope to keep them engaged and connected, it is also a collection of helpful and healthy recommendations for an adapting generation. Please enjoy and share with friends.
