Digital art
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

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...
