A long-time plein-air and studio painter of tonal-colorist landscapes in oil, I follow the classic traditions of the Hudson River School and the California and American Impressionists in the Craftsman style. I participate in numerous plein air competitions and shows throughout California and nationally, represented by various galleries throughout the years. I teach classes and workshops through public & private venues, with memberships in many arts organizations.Originally from Columbus, Ohio, with a background in engineering, I am a professional artist living in San Francisco, CA and Phoenix, AZ for over 35 years, with a BFA from the California College of the Arts, an MFA from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, CA, plus many plein-air workshops with noted artists.
