I received a Bachelor of Arts in Art from San Jose State
University with a concentration in Design.
Following college I worked as a free-lance illustrator which allowed me
to segue into a job with Lockheed.
While at Lockheed I worked as a Cartoonist and Technical Illustrator. Europe called and I couldn’t pass up the
opportunity to work in England but had, by then, moved into the Technical Field
of Computers. Art was never out of my thoughts and I dabbled
in textiles and ceramics as a hobby.

In 2011 I retired and relocated from the Bay Area to the
Sierra Foothills. I jumped back into
the art world by taking drawing classes at a local gallery. The focus in my drawing class was
portraiture.
I enjoyed portraiture but there seemed to be something
missing for me. Graphite is so soothing
to work with and to view but my cartooning background took over. I enjoyed skewing the reality with the
quirkiness, the gray tones with the vibrant colors, and taking advantage of illustrating
the abundant wildlife of the Sierras.
