My Story

I'm from Chicago and a product of the 60's.  It was then that I started painting.  In the past from lack of money for supplies, I painted on everything.  I had a long stretch of painting rocks.  I now have all of the art supplies I dreamed of then and so I do my best to put them to use.  I never am at a loss for inspiration.  Everything inspires me.  

My Work

My Background

I went to the Academy of  Fine Arts in Oak Park Illinois as a child.  I later went to SIU and studied art.  I had a long period of time where I wasn't in school.  I returned in my late 40's and graduated the University of Arizona with a BFA.  I went on to work at Pima Community College in the Printmaking Dept.

My Medium

I use a variety of mediums,  digital, acrylic, oil, encaustic, epoxy resin and ink. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its own individual outcome.  The act of creativity in itself is the motivation.
