After attending the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA I was offered a job painting large murals for natural history exhibits in museums around the world. This type of artwork doesn't usually bring much recognition to the artists but it was a wonderful career and I can honestly say I have artwork in approximately 20 museums around the world. It wasn�t until 2013 that I decided to begin painting for galleries. 

 My training at the Art Center College not only taught me great draftsmanship but it also gave me a deep understanding of abstraction and technique. I love the "chess" like experience that comes with creating a work of contemporary art; It's as though you add a line here and the painting demands another move, and so on, until balance and harmony wins the "game" and all dimensions of the painting such as: texture, color, drawing skill, depth, composition, etc. all come together to present a hopefully beautiful experience for the viewer.
