about

I've been drawing just about all of my life, and painting since I was a teen. I started by drawing animals I saw in nature books, which we had or I got from the library. I then progressed to figures when I started reading and collecting comic books. I thought I'd become a comic book illustrator, but decided against that route when I saw that it'd be more limiting than I was wanting it to be.

I love doing figures, and at the moment, that's what I'm focusing on, especially the male figure. I will paint or draw just about anything I have an interest in. In the 80s, I was more interested in doing fantasy/science fiction-type images. Currently, as I said, I'm working on male nudes, but will do whatever I feel a need to express, or if I get a commission request.

I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Arizona State University in the late 90s, about 20 years after I first started college. I took a small break from doing any artwork shortly after that. I continued to work in the semiconductor industry, unrelated to anything creative, where I had been laboring since the very early 80s.

I live in Tucson, and am pursuing my art career, mostly full-time. I also do website design, and am looking to branch out in that arena. I maintain a couple of sites at the moment, and hope to get more business doing that. I've gone back to school again. This time my focus is on graphic design to augment and enhance my web skills. I believe you're never too old to learn, and in the design business, things change all the time.
