BIO
​

I received my Bachelors of Arts from California College of Arts and Crafts, Oakland, CA. I am an active member of the A/NT (Art Not Terminal) Gallery located at the Seattle Center.


I have worked with a variety of media including stone, plaster, clay and wax. Several pieces have been cast in bronze and in bonded-marble. Sculptor heroes? To name a few: August Rodin, Camille Claudel, Ivan Mestrovic, Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux, Gaston Lachaise and Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

​

I returned to oil painting two and half years ago after more than a decade dedicated to sculpting. Each painting has been a unique and rewarding experience.
