In addition to my artist self, I’ve been active at the Petaluma Arts Center where I’m on the board and chair of the exhibitions committee. I am a co-curator for our exhibition in the main gallery called The Art of Materials. It’s been a wonderful and new experience for me and even more exciting to introduce friends to many exceptional artists in the Bay Area.
Exhibition Dates: May 9-June 22, 2024.

Gallery Route One in Pt Reyes Station, CA presented the 2023 Annual Juried Exhibition, “Seen and Imagined,” featuring artists in a diverse range of media including painting, collage, etching, photography, mixed media, and sculpture. The theme draws on the interplay and confluence between the inner and outer worlds, and how reality cannot be defined in concrete terms.

Sitting at home with one of my paintings. I moved in December 2020. I’m enjoying being outside of San Francisco (but close) and eager to see how my work changes in a quieter environment.
Thank you to the law firms of Olivier, Schreiber and Chao – and – Shepherd, Finkelman, Miller and Shah for purchasing several of my paintings for their law offices.

I make what I make. It comes out of a moment in time. It is generated by mood, stillness, intensity, frustration, calm, playfulness and any other adjective that seems fitting at the moment.
I create art that generates, for me, a feeling of wonder and awe and most of the time as representative of something beautiful. Works vary in style but are recognizable as mine.
I am influenced by other artists and painters and that may generate a new body of work based on this influence.
Art is not precious but appreciated for its significance as a new creation, as organic, a moment in time not to be matched by any other moment in time.
