About
My artistic background was quite conventional and traditional having studied at Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles, CA. But, over the years my artistic focus changed and I became interested in Fine Crafts, i.e., ceramics and the fiber arts. I spent the ensuing years working in these mediums.
Two and one-half years ago with the onset of Covid, and its accompanying isolation, two artist friends and myself started meeting once a week to escape via creativity. Our choice of expression was painting. I became hooked and have not looked back.
Artist Statement
As an abstract painter I have the rare opportunity to get out of my thinking mind, at least for a while. My work is primarily intuitive which allows for lots of little surprises. I consider them gifts to myself and hopefully to the viewer.
