biography

I am a dedicated artist whose bright, playful work takes food - with a current emphasis on cakes, pastries and other desserts - as the subject matter for contemporary paintings. I favor the thickly textured impasto technique, finding inspiration from my studies with renowned California plein-air colorist Camille Przewodek, and my life-long admiration of Wayne Thiebaud's works.

After graduating from Gonzaga University, my career began as a graphic artist serving as art director for several magazines, including San Francisco. I later became a designer of upscale catalogues working with clients around the country. Over the last decade, I have transitioned from the commercial arena into the fine arts.

A third-generation San Franciscan, and now resident of Marin County, art has always been a part of my life. People say my paintings make them smile, and I'm delighted they have that effect.
