So, this is the spot where I am supposed to talk about myself. For some, this is easy, but for me...well, let’s just say that I have typed this bio thing out quite a number of times without success. So, I guess I will go with a straight forward approach and say this: yes, I actually am a school bus driver who works for a school district in western Wisconsin. I live in the middle of western Wisconsin with my wife, two dogs, and a cat. I suppose the only thing that is missing is a goldfish. When I am not driving school bus, I write, draw, paint, perform, use a camera, build sculptures with objects found about the place... Well, you get the idea. I’ve been at the art thing for somewhere around 40 years.
I was born into art. My whole family is really to blame, all storytellers, painters, performers, and the like. I would sit and listen to the stories from the family farm and the railroad my father’s family was connected. It is how I came to know History. I started my art career when I created an “alter-ego” who has stayed with me for more than 40 years ago and given my art a bit of a child-like hue. Yes, I am a child in adult clothing.
If you wish to see some of the visual art that I have created, find me on Facebook or Instagram. Just look for Roy Edward Power. I have two on-going series running in my posts: #VillageNews postings and #SchoolBusKids. These postings were once numerous, but occasionally still appear. Also, once in a while my cartoon #Scribbles will appear. You will find other goodies. If you wish to see some more of my writing, you can venture to my “A Fool in the World” blog at royedwardpower.blogspot.com. I have been using it as a writing lab, but am currently rethinking the blog’s possibilities.
