A lifelong artist and a Cleveland, Ohio native I moved to San Francisco in 1978 and
now reside in Oakland California. As a teenager I studied art with Bob Mazur and Fred
Biehle in the South Euclid/Lyndhurst schools and took Saturday classes at the Cleveland
Institute of Art. At Ohio State University where my major professors were Hoyt Sherman
and Robert King, I graduated with a degree in Painting. Drawing and Graphics and Art
Education.
In my painting it is the inner world that inspires me, the psychological, the
contemplative, the spiritual. I love to paint people of all races and the San Francisco Bay
Area with its rich ethnic mix of people has been deeply inspiring to me for that reason. I
am constantly being moved to paint the people here. I believe we are all one in the
important ways, and I love to find those everyday moments that have a universal quality,
something we all recognize and resonate with. Frequently as I do my daily activities I will
encounter faces that fascinate me. I'm always noting the way the light falls on the head of
the person I am talking to, even as I'm shopping at the hardware store or paying for my
lunch.
I'm on the lookout for a face, an expression or gesture that reaches beyond the
mundane and somehow seems to embody some universal human experience or truth, in
all its poignance and beauty. Its when I can evoke this kind of experience in my painting
that I feel most satisfied as an artist.
I have been exhibiting my work since the mid-1970s. I work in oil, pastel and watercolor
and these paintings have garnered national recognition, including articles in AMERICAN
ARTIST, INTERNATIONAL ARTIST, PASTEL HIGHLIGHTS 2, and ART BUSINESS NEWS. I
am one of 10 winners (out of 3300 submissions) in the ARTIST'S MAGAZINE Art over 60
Competition, and an article about me appeared in the March 2011 issue of the magazine.
My biography has been included in Marquis’ WHO’S WHO
IN AMERICA, WHO’S WHO IN THE WEST, and the British INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY
OF BIOGRAPHY.
I’m a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America, the Pastel Society of the
West Coast and the Sierra Pastel Society among others, and have won many awards in
national and international level competitions in museums and galleries across the country.
My work has been featured in numerous gallery exhibitions, both group and solo shows
and I have participated in the prestigious Sausalito Art Festival.
I am a two time winner of the Alameda County Art Commission Public Art Competition
to acquire art for public buildings in Alameda County. Two of my paintings were
purchased for the Alameda County Court House in Hayward, CA., one for the Alameda
County Clerk-Recorder’s Office in Oakland, CA. and one for the new Behavioral Care
Services Building in Hayward, CA.
When I began selling paintings I came to realize the role they played in my collector’s
everyday lives. It is a very intimate thing to choose a painting which will be in your home
everyday. It is akin to falling in love. I often hear from collectors who tell me that they drink
their coffee every morning in front of “Sunday Morning” (a painting of a woman drinking
coffee and reading an art book) or that they look at my paintings when they are feeling
down for inspiration about how beautiful life can be or that they are always finding new
things in the painting. Frequently they send photos of how the piece looks hanging in their
house. It feels very good to think that my work enhances people’s homes and enriches
their experience of life.
I take selected painting students in my Oakland studio and serve as a mentor to many
artists around the country and world. I have a large internet presence and, since I paint
people from many different ethnic groups, I frequently get e-mails from artists in the
countries I depict. I always try to give advice, support, education and encouragement to
artists from countries as diverse as Africa, Peru, England, Russia, Australia and of
course, the U.S. It is very gratifying to know that I am passing on the fine art training I
received and experience I’ve garnered to the next generation of artists.
