As any artist, I have developed a style and a method of mentally and physically approaching my work. Painting and drawing have always been my favorite physical media since I discovered them as a child; then I discovered the computer, now running a close second. Mentally I chase after images with a butterfly net, always careful to preserve what I’ve captured – not wanting to pin it down – I never commit to anything right away. I store it in a jar and wait till the time is just right, then I free it, usually with another image that was imprisoned also. Once these liberated images come together, they have a will of their own. Then another free flight and they begin to tell their own story. My work has always felt like visual story telling, stories I can’t tell verbally, narratives that speak to each person in a different way. Humor, satire, whimsy foreboding, social comment and spirituality are all themes that come into play.
My work has been exhibited in California and other parts of the country. I now live in San Diego with my wife.

Thanks very much for looking. Any questions or comments on the work are always welcome. For all those who have put me on their watchlist and favorited my work thank you.
