What with space being at a premium in the Bay Area, finding ways to make art when there is no affordable studio space can be a challenge.  I have been branching out into working on computer.  I ...

Samuel Beckett’s Telephone–2016

Last summer I fulfilled a lifelong dream of finally going to England and Ireland.  Ireland was what I wanted it to be. England will be another post. The next time I go back to Ireland, hopefully Luas will be done with the light-rail, as the only drawback was that all of the Dublin streets were...

Cricket Engine Show–2008

A show I’d almost forgotten that I’d had–right before the Great Recession.  It’s been a difficult eight years.  I don’t even know what I titled this show.  It should probably be called The Last Pendulum, since this is the last large-scale piece I managed to make.  

Life On Mars? #RIPDavidBowie

I’ll get this right out of the way.  I do not have highbrow tastes in music. For many of my public outings with my own art, people have always mused aloud to me that my paintings must have been done while I listened to the Brandenburg Concerto, etc.  While I do like some baroque trumpet,...

Undergraduate work at CCAC, 1992-1995

Morphing from a painter to a sculptor went in several directions in this period.  I drew from a hodge-podge of interests that I found editing down into coherent subject matter a challenge.  I kept sketchbooks and did drawings based on these, and created work that referenced two-dimensional representation. I became interested in creating a world...

Moving to CCAC, Oakland, CA 1992

In 1992, after a few years at community college trying to find my footing, I was encouraged to transfer to CCAC (now renamed to CCA) in Oakland by my life drawing teacher, Mark Eanes.  I was reluctant to leave College of San Mateo, which was a genuine community with many great students and teachers (and...
