About me
Thanks for visiting. During my career as an artist, I've worked as an illustrator, a portraitist, a house painter, a muralist and a decorative painter. I have a BFA from Tyler School of Art (1988). I'm very proud to have work in the collections of the SFMOMA and the John Waters archives at Wesleyan University.
The SFMOMA acquired a limited edition box (30) of small works curated by Rick Jacobsen who ran the Kiki Gallery in San Francisco from 1993-1995. KIKIBOX was created to celebrate the gallery's first year anniversary. My contribution was a vinyl screen printed sticker. Kiki Gallery is also where I had my first solo show in San Francisco.
After interviewing John Waters for Bookshop Santa Cruz in May of 2015, I sent a gift of some fan art that I had made - 3 screen print portrait film stills of his leading ladies. These pieces were included in his 2023/24 retrospective at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles and are now housed in his permanent archives.
I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 30 years and made paintings and prints depicting the cityscapes and shoreline scenes found there. In my early career, most of my work was about the fear of AIDS. I screenprinted art stickers that I put up all over San Francisco after I moved there with my partner in 1992. I became interested in portraiture and made screen prints and drawings of people I knew and/or were inspired by. Subsequent inspiration ranged from film stills to vintage beefcake photography to antique medical imagery to ephemera and wallpaper patterns - anything that caught my eye that seemed strange and beautiful.
Currently, the temporary nature of life has become my greatest interest. Vanitas still lifes and garden scenes are favorite themes. Visit again sometime to see new work and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
