About the Artist

I grew up on the San Francisco peninsula during it's rural period. I attended the College of San Mateo, studied with Alanson Appelton and Robert Bowman, and later the California College of Arts and Crafts where I studied under Jimmy Suzuki, Ralph Borge, Robert Bechtel, Roy De Forest and Arthur Okamura. Marin has been my home for the past 50 years and
I live and work in Sausalito.

My facination with the way color works in human vision has lead me to develop a technique of using layers of transparent glazes to mix colors optically, allowing light to penetrate the surface and recreate the luminous quality of natural light.
