I was blessed to grow up in a home with many beautiful works of art, and in a family that not only understood the importance and value of art, but also encouraged my artistic pursuits. Creating visually pleasing images and forms became an enormous part of my life.
I studied photography at the Art Center College of design in Pasadena in the 70’s and began my career as a sports photographer in 1979. Capturing great moments of the very sports I loved was extremely exciting and fulfilling for the many years I did it and still remains close to my heart. My career grew to include many aspects of outdoor photography including adventure travel, fashion, winter olympics, extreme sports and commercial advertising.
As a sculptor, I began making clocks and various items for my friends and family out of my years of collected sports junk. I then added metal forging to my “toolbox” and began to create many visual forms. The progression has now lead me to larger mixed media outdoor sculpture.
My artistic journey continues to evolve as I expand my knowledge and use of artistic mediums. Currently, I am taking painting classes with a well-known and widely respected local artist with the hope of expanding my artistic expressions on canvas.
I am so blessed to be able to continue the tradition my parents began with me to promote and encourage art with my family. My wife Retta has been a musician since we met 40 years ago and often sings with our very talented daughter Emily. My son Sean is a truly amazing painter and is pursuing a life as a full time artist with his soul-mate wife Ana, also an accomplished artist.
