background
--- started my first career in the early 1970's in TELEVISION, as a Film Editor and Producer. In the early '90's, the capstone of my career was the HONOR that a chapter of The National Association of Television Arts & Sciences presented to me for my work as FILM EDITOR of a PBS TV news special report that won an EMMY AWARD. My experiences as a Film Editor inform my work as an Artist, today.
In the '90's, I changed my career; graduated from law school; and, while working in Law, I studied ART in several evening classes at the School of a Museum of Fine Arts. Since then, my ART EDUCATION has been self-directed and has benefited from the guidance of a Mentor; Art Colony classes; Workshops in watercolor; annual Art Festivals; Exhibitions at art galleries and centers in the Midwest, Colorado, Missouri, and Kansas .
My paintings have been juried into Art Fairs and Shows (international and regional). The ANGAD ARTS HOTEL & Grand Tavern, located in the art district of St. Louis, MO, displayed "PUEBLO" in their formal dining room (mid-2019 thru January 2020).
I continue my independent study of Art History, techniques of drawing, collage, and painting. I hope that my work resonates with Viewers in positive ways.
Favorite Mediums
-- acrylics on stretched canvas and fine paper. -- I use gouache, sumi & acrylic ink, watercolor, and hand-made papers to create geometric forms in my compositions.
Inspiration & Style
-- my MOTIVATION and inspiration to paint starts with observations of Earth's natural habitats; her wildlife; indigenous cultures; and the stars, planets, and galaxies that are visible in the night sky.
