I have been an artist all my life. After graduating from Ukiah High School., I earned my B.A. at San Francisco State College as a Diversified Art Major,graduating in 1969. Diversifying my major allowed me to work in all forms and media. After graduating, I worked in the art department at a San Francisco printing company and in the graphic arts field until the 1990's. In 1993, I enrolled in the Certificate Program in Landscape Architecture offered through UC Berkeley Extension and graduated in 2000. I remained in the Bay Area until 2003, when I left to move back to my childhood home in Ukiah.
My art work is a product of location, vocation, and personal esthetic. My artistic expression runs from rendered realism to abstract expression, in various media, on paper. In the end I always come back to my love of the "line" in all its forms. The quality and beauty of line as a simple, but controlled mark on paper, allowed me endless forms of expression, both timeless and deep.
