About the Artist

I was born in Dearborn, Michigan in 1966. Shortly after graduation I moved to Seattle, Washington where I “came out” as an artist. In 1994, I met and apprenticed under Northwest Artist, Galen Garwood in fine art monoprinting, and three-dimensional sculpturing. In 1995, Marrowstone arts produced my first one-man show. The show was a success, selling almost all pieces shown in monoprint and sculpture.

I wanted to grow as an artist, so I moved to San Francisco to experience a broader scope of life. Since being in San Francisco, I’ve had many group shows as well as produced many one-man shows throughout the city and in Long Beach.

My art has made it possible to express my feelings without having to use words or to be present to affect people’s lives, whether or not it is a monoprint, etching, oil, or sculpture. I speak through colors, shapes, tones, and shadows. My work conveys emotion. Many times viewers read into my work objects, which may not match my interpretation. This highlights that my work is object independent, standing on its ability to evoke emotions through allowing the viewer to see what they want to see, while being given a clear emotional intention. Viewers are brought into my artwork through their emotions.
