| Introduction | I have always been artistically driven and took a job in the military as an illustrator, illustrating training handbooks of maps, uniforms, ranks and insignias for US Army troops in the field. I used my GI Bill and started my education at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, where I also did a work/study program at the Minneapolis Art Institute. I finished my fine arts degree with a concentration in drawing and painting from the University of Minnesota. I studied and learned from faculty members, Herman Somberg (from the “Cedar Bar - Franz Kline” days) as well as Victor Caglioti, Tom Rose, Tom Lane, Jody Williams, George Creamer and Andrew Leicester, to name a few. Simultaneously, I pursued Corporate America in the graphic arts realm. That experience has enhanced a professional discipline and commitment to my fine art. I currently have a work/live loft in East Village in San Diego. I am involved with the ArtPulse Community and the effort to build an arts district in and around San Diego. |
