Away From Work
For over 20 years, I have played various instruments in several rock cover bands, most recently the power pop and retro oriented When Squirrels Attack. I also recently renewed an interest in fine art, painting abstract and figurative pieces spanning a variety of styles and media (www.bartsloanart.com).
