Bio


    Background:  I was born in 1964 in Boulder, CO. I grew up
    next to the foothills within a block of artists Helen Barchilon
    Redman (to the North), Luis Eades (to the NW) and Virginia
    Maitland (to the West). The mountains were my first love.

    I pulled my first print in Lacoste, France during a nine month
    stay with the Cleveland Inst of Art. Discovering etching was
    like finding a long lost friend. I also painted my first plein air
    work there. Returning to CU, Boulder, I continued studying
    painting, printmaking, and mathematics.  Frank Sampson,
    George Woodman, and Dave Hickey are some artists/critics
    who influenced me there. After graduating, I opted to seek
    good fortune from a green Westfalia and the open road. Ending
    up in Taos, I painted and waited on tables for a few years. It
    was during this time that I met Rod Goebel and David Barbero,
    whose work and (especially) approach to painting influences
    me to this day. Feeling a pull to help better the world through
    building creative structures (a la Michael Reynolds) I moved to
    LA to study architecture at SCI-Arc (which is absurd if you
    know anything about Michael Reynolds - but Sci-Arc was
    tremendous). I spent 4 years in California doing just this.  

    In 2006, after a few moves and a decision to return to
    Portland, I realized I needed to hop back on my artist track and
    stay on until the bitter end.  

    You can find me painting in the Troy Laundry Building,
    printmaking at Bite Studio, and painting along the banks of the
    Willamette.
