About The Artist

I am an investigative artist, much like an investigator I start with a question. Using my artistic abilities, creativity, seeing visions of what meet, and hearing my muses, I build my answers with layers of colors and forms on top of what once was blank empty canvases.
I have always been a searcher and I believe most art lovers are searching too. I hope my art helps answers at least part of the big question as to why we are here. Feel and interpret brush strokes and layers of colors like a novel.
I grew up in a small midwestern factory town, started and dropped out of art school in the late 70's. I revamped the plan by adding math and science studies to my university days then created a life in Silicon Valley in the 90's. 9/11 shook me up and sent me back into art full time. From 1997 through 2017, I started and ran Artistic Adventure in Menlo Park, Art21 Gallery in Palo Alto, ran a studio in Chelsea in the Chelsea Art Building, and produced and hosted Talk Art, a cable television show - see latest show, Silicon Creativity September 2017 episode, and currently host the 4th Sunday Salon at my art studio.
Today, I create art in a newly designed, top-of-the-line studio, in the first floor of our Redwood City, California home. I show my art in my studio and in The Main Gallery in Redwood City.

Grass Roots Exhibits And Conferences In Support Social Conscience
Honoring Women's Rights conference in 2012, opened the door to national-level speakers , such as Sandra Fluke, Gina Davis, Malissa Feruzzi Shriver, and organizations such as UniteWomen.org, Women-Matter.org, SeeJaneDo.org, and PDA.org. I've attended, volunteered, organized, and ran many social change and political consciousness raising events since then. Here are a few choice videos and images from this roster.

4th Sunday Salon @4 is a down and real discussion. Deep thinkers are invited to present and delve into the very essence of your art, how it fits in the current state of life and how we're making a difference in the world thru art. At Sunday Salon, we confront who we are as artists in the world, to face ourselves in front of the others and face how we express ourselves. When we go beyond the limits of safety we open to our greatest opportunities.
All deep thinkers are invited. Working artists of all kinds - fine artists, writers, poets, philosophers, speakers, actors: bring a current work and get ready to speak the truth about your art form, the others art, and the art world at large.
Open for discussion: fine art, art spaces, poetry, music, philosophy, universal truths, raison d'être.
