Artist Statement:
The body of work presented here form a visual expression of my reflections on the people, landscapes and buildings that I encounter. Travels across several continents with my wife provide subjects for my paintings. Through the photographic process of Cyanotype I explore concepts of composition and reflections on art and art history.

Art Education: Bachelor of Arts, Mansfield University, Mansfield, Pennsylvania.
Drawing, design and painting classes at Pasadena City College under various instructors including Sarah Sarchin, John Trees and Craig Antrim.
Studied oil painting under Susan Bothwell at UCLA, Arthur Egli in Pasadena California, and most recently, Robert Sherrill through the Art Center College of Design Extension, 2021-22.

My artwork has been exhibited with the Pasadena Society of Artists and the California Art Club, with whom I have membership as an Associate Artist.
