Born in Long Beach, California I showed an applitude for drawing at a very early age. By age 8 my parents started me with private lessons from Athena Hall, a respected art teacher in the community. I drew with pencils and crayons until age 11, and then the world of oil painting became my passion. At age 12, I sold my first oil painting and I was the youngest member of the Long Beach Art Association. Oil painting has remained with me until this very day.
In 1973 I attained a BS degree in Art with a minor in business from Woodbury College. In college I also learned advertising and concept development.
After college my art career flourished. I worked for the largest billboard company in L.A. California, Foster and Kleiser, for 16 years. I became one of the three master pictorial painters in the industry. While working for Foster and Kleiser, I also had intense lessons with Theodore Lukits Academy of Fine Art, Mario Rueda, and Bernardo Sepulveda. All of them were accomplished artists in fine art. My gift and study in art was reaching the potential I had long desired to have. After reaching this new level, my interests turned to the private mural and fine art field.
In this new stage of my career, I strive to share the passion I have for life in my canvases. The subjects I choose touch the viewer with intensity true to life.
