BIRTH PLACE: Redlands, CA
BIOGRAPHY
With a phenomenally creative painter for a mother, and a set designing, iron sculpting, jack and/or master of all trades for a father, I was well encouraged in my artistic inclinations right from the start. My earliest days were spent with the crayon, forming round multi-colored bodies on the page whose line limbs spiked their way from its center. Since giving up the crayon, every form of mark-making that I've taken on has expressed that same subject. People have always been my creative focus.
In between creative pursuits, I managed to survive and graduate from BYU's visual arts program and get myself hitched in the process. My greatest creative achievement has been that of my daughter, newly born and splendidly fabulous. The three of us are soon to set up shop in the Pacific Northwest, and become happily drenched in the copious rainfall.
My work has been shown in LA, Denver, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Boston, San Francisco, New York and London.
