EDUCATION

After graduating from Whitman College with a bachelors degree in Psychology I went back to Whitman for additional undergraduate classes in fine art and art history, then moved to San Francisco where I attended the SF Art Institute and finished my masters in painting in 1984.

SHOWS

Besides hosting open studios at my space on Haight Street I have shown at the Sheehan Gallery, Walla Walla, Washington, the Walter McBean Gallery and Diego Rivera Gallery at the San Francisco Art Institute, at the Commonwealth Club, Community Blend, and Tiffany & Co., San Francisco.  My last one person show was at the Schomburg Gallery in Santa Monica and I am pleased to have been a part of the University of San Francisco's Creative Justice Art Show for 2006. My next scheduled one-person show will be at the Schomburg in August of 2007.

THE IMAGERY

The images in my paintings are most often derived from sketches that I do based on a photograph or group of photos that I have personally taken.
