About the Artist |
I grew up in San Diego, California at a time when few people knew much about the area, except former military personnel and defense industry workers. I studied art at San Diego State University.
After college and a short time in the military, I worked as a graphic designer in industry, design studios, publishing, and advertising; and eventually opened my own graphic design studio in California, Texas, Illinois and Oregon. I also taught design at the university level for a time. From those earlier years up to now I have continued to explore the world through my personal art. Occasionally I have gallery shows and support myself as a graphic designer. This allows me the freedom to pursue whatever artistic direction or interest that attracts me. I have been fortunate to have a wonderfully supportive wife, a loving family, good friends, wise teachers, and wide experience in my life. All this has provided me with the confidence and skills to explore my personal vision. |
