Born in San Diego, California in 1936, I grew up with a fascination for Art, it has always held my interest and always those great 19th century Impressionist painters.


"Painting and drawing, a natural and urgent need to express what I see became serious in the middle fifties. Self taught with much desire, progress was made. In 1964, needing more professional help, I studied with Mr. Cohen in San Diego Calif., who had a studio in Balboa park. Mr. Cohen was 90 years old at that time and as a young man in Paris at the turn of the century had the opportunity to meet Claude Monet and to know and to understand his techniques and incites. Mr. Cohen relayed these techniques to me which was a fascinating adventure and learning process for me. I have never shown my work in galleries, but have sold privately. in the span of these years my paintings are in peoples homes through out the United States and Japan."
