I was raised in Palos Verdes, California, where I always had an appreciation of our beautiful coast, and loved to swim, surf, make music and art. I had some especially encouraging and influential art teachers early on that concreted my future in all things artistic, and the expression of them. I pursued further artistic studies at California School of Arts and Crafts and at Cal Arts, moved to Santa Barbara in 1972, had a glass business, Bob's Glass, and designed and installed architectural glass pieces. Throughout the time I had his business I continued with blown glass, ceramics, painting and drawing for more personal artistic outlets. I sold the company in 2002, and have completely devoted myself to this personal art since. I have been working plein air and doing studio work as well as figure drawing and sculpture.
