For decades, I have explored storytelling of the human experience through art - capturing the emotion and idiosyncrasies of an individual and creating art that speaks to people. I began my art career in the commercial art arena as an illustrator and art director for clients such as University of California, Raytheon, ad agencies and publishers. I went back to study sculpture under Ken Gray at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, where I showed my work in a number of student shows and the “No Big Heads” show. Years later, I opened an art school in Southern Oregon in response to the lack of funding and opportunities for children and adults interested in exploring the arts. Through the years I’ve painted in acrylics and oil, I most enjoy the challenge and immersive experience of sculpting in cement from my studio in Astoria Oregon.
