Once I retired from the work-a-day-world, I picked up a piece of charcoal, a pencil, then colored pencils and markers, and finally pastels. I surrounded myself with color.
I furthered my studies at thePacific Arts League, the Palo Alto Art Center, and the Bay Area Classical Artists Atelier.
Portraiture (my main focus) and (not-so) still life sit at one end of the creative spectrum. At the other end are cartoons and caricatures. Contact me if you are interested in a commission or to make an appointment to visit my studio @ Art Bias.

Once I retired from the work-a-day-world, I picked up a piece of charcoal, a pencil, then colored pencils and markers, and finally pastels. I surrounded myself with color.

My mentors include Halcyon Teed (pastel), Ray Mendieta (sanguine pencil), Tony Ryder (graphite), Carla Golder (colored pencil), and Steve Curl (cartooning). I also studied with Ted Seth Jacobs, Michael Grimaldi, Jon De Martin, Juliette Aristedes, and Dan Thompson.

Portraiture (my main focus) and (not-so) still life sit at one end of the creative spectrum. At the other end are cartoons and caricatures. Contact me if you are interested in a commission or to make an appointment to visit my studio @ Art Bias.
