I graduated from the University of Utah in 1975 and have lived in the Seattle area since 1980. My early career was in advertising and marketing with a focus on direct mail and copywriting as an independent consultant. Not finding that particularly rewarding, I opened an art gallery in the mid 1980's in Seattle's Pike Place neighborhood. In the mid 1990's started focusing on my own art. I closed the gallery in 2007 to focus on my art. Plus 20 years of retail was enough.
My art focuses on dogs and cats and one of my great pleasures is helping pet rescue organizations through the donation of artwork. Outside of art I like to cycle and my favorite activities are cycling (and eating) in Europe.
