Ever since I can remember I have been compelled to recreate an individual expression of the shapes, sounds, harmonies, textures, and colors that resonate with my inner sense of well being. This began as a small child when I played ukulele and guitar with Lori Campbell, sculpted primitive mud men from the clay of my parents’ yard and continued through the creation of more sophisticated efforts under the tutelages of Sidney Griller (violinist), Raymond Miller (composer) and art educator Henry Schaefer-Simmern. I eventually ended up an art student at San Francisco State College(1963-67) where I received a Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree in Art and found an inspiring artist and creative being as my life partner. My formative education in music and visual art has infused me with an artist’s approach to life. Therefore it is in this mode that I create and practice my present relationships with counseling, writing, and theoretical exploration. Below are examples of my work. |
