I love to paint and draw. I worked a brief stint as a commercial artist in the early 1970s in Worcester, Massachusetts. I decided then to study fine art, so I came out to San Francisco to study Painting at the San Francisco Art Institute from 1972 until 1979. I received a Master's Degree in Painting there. I also received a teaching credential in Art Education in 1987 from San Francisco State University. I taught in the San Francisco Unified School District and retired in 2014. I also studied Ceramics at City College San Francisco in 2001-2002.  I now work mainly in acrylic paints, pastels, charcoal, and pencil. I hope you enjoy my work.
