The sea, mountains and the landscape in general. Sometimes I bring nature into the studio. Although I am essentially a studio painter, plein air excursions are part of trying to extract some organic intensity I experience. Distillation of personal observations into a cohesive and singular statement have been my intention for many years.” EDUCATION: Chouinard Institute, Los Angeles, CA; Jepson Art Institute, Los Angeles, CA; San Francisco Art Institute, CA.
