Monday, Oct 9th 2023 7:00 PM - 9 PM
I try to create art that adds something new to the arena-something that is interesting and unique. I choose subjects that interest me and techniques that try to advance my skills. I appreciate all forms of art and have chosen not to be tied to any given medium or style. I like variety in the art I view as well as the art I create.
Therefore, you will see my work in charcoal, pen and ink, watercolor, acrylic, pastel and mixed media. Prior to beginning a new piece, I give considerable time in choosing a subject, medium and technique. I work unrushed and stay committed to the final pen or brush stroke. My goal is to engage the viewer and stimulate an interesting and enjoyable experience.
I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, served 30 years in the Navy coincident with a 30 year career with a blue-chip company in the private sector. I am currently a member of the East Valley Artists (EVA) and the Los Gatos Art Association (LGAA). I was Artist of the Year in 2005 and 2006 with the Santa Clara Art Association and had a painting chosen as Painting of the Year by the LGAA in 2007. I was also Artist of the Year with EVA in 2021. I have won many awards in juried shows including several Best of Show awards.
