Printer Painter Teacher Innovator
Over 50 years of intense work have lead down a path of mystery, humor, eroticism, lyricism, line, and color, and into the depths of the subconscious mind. The work is intended to invite the viewer to acquire a contemplative spirit and peer into an unpredictable world filled with life-affirming surrealist fantasies and joyous abstract design.
