| Introduction | Originally trained as an electrical engineer, I left an automotive engineering career at Ford Motor Company in 1997 and received art training in California from 1999 to 2005. In 2009 I moved back to Michigan and since the beginning of 2012 have returned to painting urban landscapes that depict the subject matter of freeways and roadways.
