For years I concentrated on painting, though I worked also in a variety of other media such as sculpture, print-making, and computer art. in recent years I have become increasingly preoccupied with photography. After early figurative paintings, I began to work in large-scale abstractions while studying at the San Francisco Art Institute. Under the guidance of Tom Holland, I started to integrate textural elements into these works and this led me eventually to create a series of textural abstractions. From these arose, in turn, a new concern with both architectural and landscape elements. This ultimately gave rise to a whole set of landscape paintings. My interest in biomorphic forms finally led me into the direction of a new body of abstract works.

I have studied art in both Amsterdam and San Francisco, attending City College of San Francisco, The San Francisco Art Institute, and the California College of Arts and Crafts. I received my BFA from the SF Art Institute in 1977 where I worked with Tom Holland, Sam Tchakalian, Julius Hatofsky, Jack Jefferson, and Karen Breschi.

I have had solo exhibitions at the Artists' Gallery of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the John Francis Gallery in San Francisco, at the Hermosa Gallery, Berkeley and at Adapt Gallery, Berkeley. Group shows include the San Francisco Art Institute, the Frederick Street Art Workshop, the Museum of Art at Grants Pass, Oregon, San Francisco City Hall, the Bay Area Seen exhibition in Gold Gate Park Hall of Flowers, the Morrison-Knudsen Corporation, the Ceres Gallery, New York, and has regularly exhibited in the SF Museum of Modern Art's Artists' Gallery.
