Ventura County California Plein Air and Abstract Artist

My interest in art began when I enrolled in painting and design classes at California State University, Northridge, California, while obtaining a BA in Psychology. I thought painting would be a welcome addition to my other studies and little did I realize that my initial efforts would turn into almost forty years of passion exploration and commitment to my craft.
I continued my art education here in Ventura County and started on a journey of trying different styles, media, and subjects that has not ceased. Many times I have thought to myself that I have arrived at "My Style" but I now know that for me change plays a paramount part in my work. I must allow myself the liberty of constantly moving in new directions.
Currently I am outside painting the beautiful Ventura County scene with my fellow plein air painters or in my studio working out the latest abstract ideas that are constantly running through my mind.
