These paintings represent
some of my historical
work, but are not
indicative of current
styles or subjects.

My thanks to Walt
Herip for allowing me to
use his Nikon slide
scanner!

The 20-year hiatus was the
result of business concerns
and personal issues while I
lived in southern California.
I lived there from 1976 until
October 2005. The entire
span of time I was engaged
in graphic design and
writing, so I was not out of
a creative environment.
