About

After receiving a BFA in Studio Art from the University of Arizona in 1976, I was accepted into the master's program in painting and drawing at UNM and completed an MA in 1980 and an MFA in 1982. I have lived in Albuquerque ever since – most of that time in the north valley. Having spent my working years as a graphic designer at both UNM and the University of Arizona I didn't have much time to paint but the year + of social distancing during the pandemic (and retirement) prompted me to set up my studio after a long hiatus and start painting again on a daily basis.

The landscapes come out of my love for the beauty of the desert Southwest, both New Mexico and Arizona - especially the light, sunsets, water, and cloud formations.

The Tango Series is inspired by my more than 20 years of social dancing, DJing and teaching Argentine tango. During the time I danced tango I didn't paint at all.
