I have been expressing my joy of art with paint, shapes and colors
since I was very young. I started as a painter, evolved into a photographer,
and eventually began hand-painting on my Cibachrome
prints over 35 years ago. Before Photoshop I found a way to express
a new magical reality with the vivid, saturated and unrealistic colors
I painted into each individual photographic print.
For the past 30 years I have been scanning my one-of-a-kind hand-painted prints
and my library of 35mm Kodachrome color transparencies taken over the last 45 years.
I love to paint, collage and enhance them with Photoshop, creating my own idyllic world!
I produce archival museum quality chromogenic prints, archival glossy canvas artworks,
and my favorite digital medium: archival dye sublimation prints on aluminum.
My art has been shown worldwide in many solo exhibitions including:
Butler Institute of American Art, Ohio; Colarinda Gallery, Lisbon, Portugal;
MAD Gallery, Milan, Italy; Demenga Gallery, Paris, France & Basel, Switzerland;
Carnegie Art Museum, Oxnard, CA; Laguna Art Museum, CA;
Petersen Automotive Museum, LA, CA; LA County Natural History Museum, CA;
Monterey Museum of Art, CA; Nancy Hoffman Gallery, NYC, NY; L’Image Gallery, Rome, Italy;
Louis Stern Gallery, West Hollywood, CA; Wall Space Gallery, Santa Barbara, CA.
I have been included in countless group exhibits and Art Fairs around the world over the last 30 years.
It has been in many magazines, book covers, two museum exhibition catalogues and two books have been
published of my art, Garden Tales and Car Tales.
Recently I have had the honor of being asked to install over 150 pieces of my art in many wonderful public spaces at UCLA and UCSB, on exhibit forever.
