I have been drawing ever since I was very young. I started drawing pictures with pencils.  I added charcoal.  I included pastel chalks and I was off. See some of these in my vintage drawings section. Lately, I have settled on the acrylic medium to express nature's beauty in the mountains, sky, water, trees and rocks. The two birds found in every piece of work represent the freedom and companionship. I have been truly blessed to express this artistic ability. My background is also in photography, geology and biology. I was 63 years old in July of 2011.

A special thanks to my Pasadena Art Center graduate friends Kwali and Jim, their advice has been priceless.   More thanks to Nurse Kim, all of her constructive advice helped to save my life. Thanks to my dear old friend Régent who initially got me started many years ago, his huge seascapes were a thing to behold. Special recognition to my friend John at work, thanks for a nudge in the right direction - I know to never giving him a microphone. In addition to Rev. Michael Beckwith in Los Angeles, I would like to send a special to Mahalo to John in Hawaii and recognize both of them for their spiritual guidance. Finally, I’d like to send all my loving appreciation to my dear wife Karen for her patience and understanding over the years.  Now, our lives are truly blessed.
