bio: I was born in Oregon in 1943. I studied at the Museum Art School in Portland (1961-62), the Vancouver (BC) School of Art (1965-66), and intermittently at PNCA (1998-1995. I received a BA in art from Marylhurst in 2006. My professional experience includes illustration and showing of work in watercolor, pastel, and oil in several juried exhibitions. I reside in southeast Portland. Besides making art, I love outdoor sports such as hiking and orienteering.
on the importance of art:

Art is educational in a non-logical way, making us look more deeply and from unfamiliar angles. Art requires some stillness and letting go of habitual views to allow its insights to be recognized.
