STORY

After my 35 plus years in graphics communications I have returned to my first true love, fine art, painting and drawing.. While I put my creative talent to work for many clients over the years illustrating, designing print and interactive communications I missed painting and drawing, working with subjects that I found interesting to draw and paint - that challenged me to put on paper and canvas what I felt it should be visually.

In May of 2014 I started my second career as an Adjunct Instructor Teaching Adobe Creative Software Applications Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, along with Web/Graphic Design at beginning and advanced levels, and dedicating myself to as much studio time as possible for  painting and drawings.
