About The Artist


Painting and drawing since the early 70’s. I am a self taught artist of Japanese and American heritage. I began my career as a graphic and commercial artist, switching to fine art in the early 90’s. My work is a blending of Expressionism and Realism, using Japanese inks and Pencil on paper and canvas, using meditation before and during the process of creating art. I focus on the female form, often integrating that into the landscape of brushwork. Much of my work is inspired by my dreams and decades of work in Zen meditation and transformative work. I have shown my work in galleries and museums world wide.
