ve always been fascinated by life science and have wondered about my significance in life’s immenseness.

As a child I loved to collect bugs, rock, leaves, and shells; to view them through a looking glass and then draw them. I planned to be a doctor. While studying micro-biology, I continued to create illustrations. Recognizing my talent, my professor urged me to pursue a degree in bio-medical illustration. After three years of pre-med and four years of fine art, I received a BFA from California State University at Long Beach.

After receiving an MS Degree in Business and working as a marketing director for many years, I finally began to focus on fine art oil painting.

My art has a foundation in the workings of the physical universe, but unlike the tight control and confines bio-medical illustration, it has a highly emotional and colorful release in the abstract. The artists that most influence my work are:

1. Vincent Willem van Gogh > Thick paint and texture
2. Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin > Vivid color and charm
3. Paul Jackson Pollock > Free and direct expression
4. Mark Rothko > Color Field Relationships
5. Willem de Kooning > Action Painting
