INTRODUCTION TO THE WORK...........In my work I'm asking questions about the balance between advancing technology and the preservation of the natural environment. I find myself caught up in the incredible opportunities of a high tech world, while recognizing that to ignore the real possibility of destroying the natural world along the way will make all the technological advances meaningless and without value. In the search for the means to communicate my feelings, I've combined methods, materials and ideas that express various contrasts and relationships. My goal is to create a delicate balance between competing influences with the promise of instability given the slightest change. I'm a graduate of Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA.
NEW PUBLIC PROJECTS....................."The Sea" a stainless steel and bronze mural is in progress and will be installed in late 2009 at the Southwestern Yacht Club in San Diego. "SolRay" Triptych III was installed at Bucklin Park in Twentynine Palms, CA in January 2008
GROUP EXHIBITIONS..........................The "Tree Hugger" is currently included in the San Diego Port Authority's 5th Annual Urban Tree Exhibition. Look for the show along Harbor Drive at the horbor's edge. The "Tropic Bird Tree" will be included later this year in the San Diego Port Authority's 6th Annual Urban Tree Exhibition. "Family Tree' will be included in the city of Manhattan Beach's inaugural Sculpture Garden installation this summer.
OPEN STUDIOS................................. My studio will open to the public during the the annual Open Studio Art Tours, sponsored by the Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Commision, October 24 & 25, 2009 from 9-5 each day.
