Formal education include the BFA degree in painting during undergraduate studies, followed by the MFA in sculpture from UNC-Greensboro, NC in 1980.
I wander all over the place. It is through wandering and observation that I gather ideas and energy for painting. I am a self taught artist and have been painting off and on my entire life. Though originally from Southern California, it was when I landed in the Bay Area in the late 70's I felt at home. There has never been a home in my life where I did not have some kind of space to paint in, be it a kitchen or a dark and damp basement. After retiring from a thirty-eight year teaching career, I have the time to take art making seriously. I work in Oakland in a small home studio painting primarily with acrylics. Once or twice a year I take a self-imposed solo art retreat, which provides me with a discipline and nothing else to do but paint.
