February 18-March 18, 2023
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. Juried by artist, educator and Lucid Art Foundation Vision Board member, Jeremy P.H. Morgan.
My work is now represented by Chairish, Saatchi Art and 1st Dibs.
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.
Selected as part of a group show at Gearbox Gallery that explored the theme Walking the Line, inspired by the Johnny Cash song, “I keep a close watch on this heart of mine. I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I keep the ends out for the tie that binds. Because you’re mine, I walk the line.”

To walk-the-line is to maintain an intermediate position between contrasting choices or to mark a boundary by walking along it. References to the line include: above the line, down the line, the end of the line, in line with, line of flight, line of thought, opening line, and of course, drawing the line. A line is a dash, rule, bar, score; underline, underscore, stroke, slash; technical stria, striation.
