Statement
I am a 3rd generation Californian, who has lived in the Bay Area most of my life. I have shown welded steel sculpture in the San Francisco Museum of Art, abstract oil paintings in the San Diego Museum of Art and transparent hanging pieces in the Mills College Art Museum. My artists’ books and paintings are in local and national collections.
I love to see new places. I draw, write, photograph and even paint wherever I go. When traveling I sketch in handmade books that have been prepared especially for the trip. Later these images become inspirations for paintings. After I’ve finished a series of paintings and an artists’ book, I send my artwork out into the world. If my work gives a few minutes of contemplation or pleasure to another person then I have done my job.
