EDUCATION
After graduating from Whitman College with a bachelors degree in Psychology I went back to Whitman for additional undergraduate classes in fine art and art history, then moved to San Francisco where I attended the SF Art Institute and finished my masters in painting in 1984.

SHOWS
My paintings have been formally shown in various locales on planet earth not numerous or impressive enough to list here. Currently my paintings can be viewed at my Haight Street studio, in my home in the Richmond District of SF, or in the homes of the people who have been discriminatingly tasteful or kind enough to exchange hard cash for them. I also take checks.
THE IMAGERY
The images in my paintings are most often derived from sketches that I do based on a photograph or group of photos that I have personally taken.
UNFOUNDED FEARS
