"Having studied and traveled extensively through the museums of Europe and the United States and after a positon as director of a non-profit art gallery, I started taking classes and painting. The never-ending beauty of the Monterey peninsula and its colors, light and vastness continues to amaze me. It is a privilige and a challenge to try to capture its beauty on canvas. Arthur Dove, John Marin and the post impressionists have been painters I have long admired. "
