I have always felt a driving need to create just as Ive always been able to look at common objects and see uncommon possibilities for them.  Art and color are my driving forces and have influenced every aspect of my life and my being.  I work in many styles and with diverse materials to get the effects I want.

 I enjoy pushing the envelope and as a result almost everything I do is an experiment. I rarely if ever know what I will end up with. I sometimes wonder what sort of  life I would have had without this consuming drive.  Many times I have prayed for creative block to no avail. I would have made fewer mistakes in business and in life!  Now Ive reached a point in life where I can paint every day. Life is good. Art is better!

 My work is represented in collections worldwide (Canada, the U.S., Japan, Australia, France, England, Belgium, Israel, Singapore and more) including the executive offices of the California State University at Long Beach. I have taught art to children at risk through the Long Beach Children's Museum and graduated from the Coastline College Fine Arts Program.
