Born in Oakland, California in 1949, I was fortunate to grow up in a wonderfully collaged city. Many cultures, views, languages, races, architectures and possiblities thrive in the expansive lights of the East Bay. My pieces are mindscapes reflecting a psycho-spiritual orientation toward life, laced with (sometimes heavy) doses of humor and irony. Themes of love and time dominate. My studio serves as a lab where things are put together from all the bits and pieces of life. Images that are all around us, waking and dreaming, go through this clearinghouse. With luck, a meaningful whole emerges.
