As a long time resident of California's East Bay, I work from my studio in Berkeley, California. Building on a life-long interest in fine art, a BA degree in art, and an ongoing career as an illustrator since 1989, I have been exhibiting my fine art since 2000. I have a variety of visual interests, from abstract art to landscapes and figure studies. I currently work in a variety of media, including pastels, acrylic, gouache and digitally created art.
