Two Self Portraits, one in in 1976, the other, much greyer now, in 2004. Born
in San Diego, California in 1936, I grew up with a fasination for Art, it has always held my interest and always those great
19th century Impressionist painters.
Painting is more then a hobby for me. Its a passion. In these Exhibits and picture galleries, I
have assembled my art for you to view, you will see flowers, flower landscapes and many other subjects.
"Painting and drawing, a natural and urgent need to express what I see became serious in the middle fifties.
Self taught with much desire, progress was made. In 1964, needing more professional help, I studied with Mr. Cohen in San
Diego Calif., who had a studio in Balboa park. Mr. Cohen was 90 years old at that time and as a young man in Paris at the
turn of the century had the opportunity to meet Claude Monet and to know and to understand his techniques and insites. Mr.
Cohen relayed these techniques to me which was a fascinating adventure and learning process for me. I have never shown my
work in galleries, but have sold privately. in the span of these years my paintings are in peoples homes through out the United
States and Japan."
"I have had a great priveledge to link to the past and see their priceless Art."
