Limited Edition Prints

I attended Sacramento City College and the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, where I received my BFA in graphic arts. I worked briefly for Aerojet as a commercial artist before being drafted into the Army and going to Vietnam in 1965. Upon my return, I attended the University of California, Davis where I earned my MA in Fine Art. I have been a working artist and an art teacher, where I have taught at both the high school and community college level, and at the California Youth Authority in Stockton, California, from which I retired in 2003.

Since 2003, my art has evolved around West Sacramento with a series of drawings, oil paintings, and watercolors of the Port of Sacramento. My more recent work has been bridges on the Sacramento and American River.

I have been a watercolorist for a number of years, and my work-which has always reflected my fascination with the complex interplay of colors and patterns—can be found in public and private collections throughout the region. I have turned my attention to painting the industrial landscapes of the Sacramento Valley, attracted by the atmospheric effects created by the light of a morning or afternoon sun on the scenes that I find.
