My early training in painting at University of California Santa Barbara was quickly displaced by a complete immersion in color photography at the San Francisco Art Institute. For two decades, I rigorously explored historical photo processes along with color development in dye transfer, gaining critical recognition and selling work to museums and major collectors.

In 2002, I started looking for a medium that would allow the same active involvement with color, light, and the abstract picture field, returning to my first medium, painting with oil. The current paintings are based on the writings and teachings of Hans Hoffman and Joseph Albers. There is a strong continuity with my earlier photographic work in its concern for the sensuous quality of color and shape and its use of nominally realistic scenes to explore abstract interrelations.
