Welcome!
Over my life time I have discovered that focusing on a goal or occupation has always been a difficulty for me. I think of myself as a problem solver in a very artistic sense. It does not matter if the problem is creating a piece of art, music, writing, building a house or training a horse. It is the discovery, opening up the mind and learning the subject with a willingness to throw my whole self at the challenge that to me is an eclectic mind.
Since a young boy I have always been involved in music, art and writing. But, the lure of nature, animals and the world at large has always played an important part in the development of these skills. It took many years until I truly realized what an artist was and that they were more then the sum of their production. To me an artist is anyone in any field who truly loves what he or she is doing to the point that it becomes them; their very soul. Also this artistic talent can run through every aspect of their lives making them a truly eclectic human being, open to the flow of information no matter what the source.
I hope to make this Site a jumping off point to my eclectic personality and also a place to share some thoughts. You can also follow me on facebook

Hi Win,
I’ve been thinking of you recently and found you here at your website. I met you at the 4-plex apartment in Pasadena in September 1974 when I moved in there. Laurel and I lived in the apartment at the lower west side of the building. Leon H. lived there too. You and I worked together taking studio quality 4×5 photographs of Ken Rucker’s wood carvings with the intent to create a book about Ken and his art. The party you had at your apartment on 12/24/77 had a major and long-lasting affect on my life. Thanks for that. I would love to talk with you sometime. I still live in Los Angeles. I don’t use Facebook much nor do I have a website (yet). Maybe if you see this note, and I’ve jogged your memory, you can contact me if you’re interested in a friendly conversation. All the best to you. Ken

Are you the same Winthrop who once made up the brochure for the Clark Hotel in downtown L.A. back in 87 or 88 as well as assisted on some other projects…? If so, I came across your business card today for LA-717 🙂 This is Paolo Vinci…former GM of that hotel and good to see you’ve pursued your multiple talents 🙂

Like it win., My love of jazz has been fostered over the last 20/30 years, hsf, finally taken root in smooth jazz, but there is plenty of room, in my musical mind, for other types of jazz, and having spent most of my life playing music, it has contributed, greatly to what I am now. I come from a music loving family, my mum, bein a Musbach, at the age of 17, on Piano. She still had pupils, at the age of 90, when living in Pinfold way, in Ruskington, but she had a fall, and put her life in reverse, passing away not long after her 91st B’day. Music makes the world go round, and when my time comed, \\\\\\\\\\\\\\i am going oput, to the sound of some Jazz. Kepp your stuff goin’ Win. Cheers, Bryan
