EDDE
“Year of the Rabbit”
SF Senior Center
Eddie is his real name. As he will let you know immediately when you meet him, it’s not Edward or Edgar. Simply Eddie. He has spent a lifetime answering people who are sure “Eddie” must be a nickname. On top of this, he was a red-headed child…a “ginger” he says. He hated being called “Red-headed Eddie.” Recently he has begun to sign his name EDDE. All caps. Now his name is a palindrome, which pleases him.
EDDE has multiple degrees: BA in Liberal Arts, MS in social work, a BS in Biology. He has studied French literature and drama. In his college drama classes he designed and made costumes for school performances.
EDDE produces a lot of art work. He likes to work with mixed media. He is partial to photography and his piece, Year of the Rabbit, is a photo of himself which he has embellished.
EDDE is grateful to Art With Elders which he believes is “better than the SF Art Institute.” He believes that art can’t be taught, but with help – such as the kind he gets from his AWE teacher – people can get appreciate their natural talent. He says he is …“Forever grateful. AWE is the best!”
