“ I was born in 1940 and raised in Mobile, Alabama. Living and painting on location in the South, East Coast, Mid- West and now for the past 22 years the West Coast has been “my studio” . Variation and nuances of an American landscape, life and light finds itself in my work. To communicate, explore, create and visualize the world around me is paramount and it is an act of love that I paint.
Developing a language with the use of a brush is a lifetime journey. Primarily self taught, Milford Zornes and the late Robert Brackman represent the West Coast and East Coast “schools” respectively and have been the most influential contemporary mentors.” My residence and studio is in Claremont, California.
