Artist Statement
I view art as a great escape and paint places
and things to escape into. I like to experiment with a variety of forms and materials from digital to watercolor to
oil.
Bio
I grew up in Santa Barbara in a slightly eccentric
family. Both parents are musicians and painters. Not being musically inclined, I pursued art. In 1974, after
college and two years in Spain, I moved north to join Lucasfilm Ltd. where I worked in a number of accounting and finance
jobs until moving into publishing in 1989. I worked as the Director of Publishing for both Lucasfilm and JAK Films until
the spring of 2010, taking art classes and painting when I could fit it in. Now retired, I have the luxury of painting
full time.
