My Story

For decades, I have been a mixed-media painter, creating large, textured, and richly layered pieces that now grace hotels and luxury homes. While my work thrived in physical spaces, it didn’t translate easily into digital formats.

During the pandemic, I discovered my late father’s woodcutting tools and ventured into printmaking—cutting plates and experimenting with work on paper. At first, the prints were abstract, like my textural paintings, but then I revisited my roots as an illustrator. I attended ArtCenter College of Design from 1978 to 1980, hoping to become a children's book illustrator, but after school, I moved away from figurative work. No one is more surprised than me about these nostalgic graphic pieces, but here they are, and I honor what comes through me.

​

This exploration of printmaking opened a new chapter in my artistic journey. Now, four years later, my process has evolved. I no longer create woodcuts or use a printing press. Instead, I paint papers, scan and collage them, and bring them to life as illustrations on my iPad. Many of these pieces are inspired by photographs taken during my travels, merging my love of art and storytelling into vibrant, joyful works.
