Biography

Born in Los Angeles in 1941, I have grown up, been educated, married,

raised a family and worked in California most of my life. My experience

of being an artist started at an early age and led me to pursue an art

education at El Camino College, UCLA, and Otis Parsons Art Institute.

My professional career took off in 1967, when I received recognition

from both the Downey Art Museum and the Los Angeles All City Art

Festival.

As testament to art as a career choice, I have been the sole support of

myself and four children since 1968, relying only on the sale of my

artwork. My eldest daughter was graduated in Architecture from both

Berkeley and Harvard Universities, my second daughter is an athletic

coach in Manhattan Beach, my eldest son builds bridges in Northern

California, and my younger son was graduated from UC Santa Barbara

in English Literature.

Having been featured in Southwest Art, Rendezvous and LA Style

magazines, as well as in the Jackson Hole News, Idaho Mountain

Express, and the Los Angeles Times, my work is also featured in

many private and corporate collections in the United States, Canada,

Mexico, Europe and Japan.

Watercolor is my primary medium and pieces range in size form eight

inches square to eight feet square. Prices for my paintings span from

$400. to over $15,000. In addition to original paintings, I also have

produced a series of serigraphs, hand-pulled, signed and numbered;

posters, signed and unsigned; and note cards.

From my studio in downtown Los Angeles, I create original artworks

and teach watercolor workshops around the country and in Europe.
