There’s no greater pleasure for me than painting. Creating art has been my passion my whole life long. As a small child, I loved to watch my father paint. When I wasn’t at his side watching, I was drawing my own pictures. I knew I was to be an artist. It never occurred to me to consider any other path.

Upon finishing high school, I enrolled in the San Francisco Art Institute and received the degree of Bachelor of Fine Art. I have continued studying all my life, whenever the opportunity presented itself to do so.

In the professional arena, I applied my art in many directions. Illustration, both traditional and digital, greeting cards, children’s books, graphic design, and show design were all areas in which I worked. I spent many years working for the Walt Disney Company. Designing in their Imagineering department was a fun experience. In 2002, working as an Art Director, I closed out my commercial career to realize my goal of devoting myself to fine art and finally take time to paint.
