Having tried most all mediums, I work in oils; I find the workability and viscosity of oil to my liking. Serious painting for me began at Benson High School in Portland where I graduated in 1962 as the school’s first art major. My career experience encompassed the US Air Force; a stint in college; and as partner/owner designer of accessories for the Porsche & Volkswagen auto.
After winning several Scholastic Art Awards including local, regional and national, I pursued and was accepted in many solo and group art shows. A select number includes: The Fry Museum; New King’s Road Gallery, London, England; Phippen Museum of Art; Butler Institute of American Art; Tucson Art Museum; and most recently in October 2009, a solo show at the National Arts Club, NYC, NY.
I have taught workshops and classes intermittently throughout these years nationally and in Oregon. I will present a mentor paintout in August and a weekend painting workshop July 23-25, 2010 here in Toledo at the Justice of the Peace Studio in the Legacy Arts Terrace
