Born, 1953, in Martinez, California. I was recognized as being a creative at an early age and addressed my life accordingly to this date. I began to work at illustration and painting at the age of sixteen and was represented by my first gallery prior to graduating high school. At the age of nineteen I was painting as well as offering art instruction via civic instructional classes. In my fifty years of working in the art industry, my work has been exhibited all around the United States, Canada, Mexico, China, Germany, and the UK. To date my work is represented in Los Angeles, China, and Las Vegas. I write this book not to tell the story of my life, but to offer the reader insight into the life of an artist.
