llustrator, Printmaker, and Digital Artist – I first began seriously painting and drawing after high school. I studied art with an emphasis on lithography at Humboldt State University and earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1977. After working briefly as a draftsman for a civil engineering firm, I began my career as a graphic designer working in the corporate marketing department of a large manufacturer. Before I left, I had two artist working for me and a $250,000 budget to manage. My love for lithography and the printed page continued through into the late 80’s and 90’s while I worked freelance creating paintings, illustrations and designs for various clients.

When the digital revolution reinvented the fields of graphic design and printing, I went to the Art Center in Pasadena to study digital media techniques. In 1998 I earned a Certificate of Digital Multimedia Technician.

I am exceptionally skilled in pastel, colored pencil, oil and canvas mediums and you’ll find my illustration style impressionistic, whimsical and vibrant. When I am not painting I manage my own graphic design firm. That's my boy Willie in the picture.
