I am an artist who lives and works in Los Angeles CA. I create in both traditional and digital media.

I spent the first 17 years of my life in Marblehead, Massachusetts, a seaside New England town. I mention this because I feel landscape and environment have played an important role in forming my world view. Four more years were spent in Cambridge, MA where I received my B.A. with high honors from Harvard College in Visual and Environmental Studies (which is Harvard speak for art). I painted, but my true love was printmaking. I adore technical processes and I am enamored of having the ability to produce multiples. (I enjoy being able to have my cake and eat it too.) So it was no surprise when my first job out of college was as a fine arts printer at Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles, CA assisting on printing an edition by Roy Lichtenstein. From there my interest in technical processes led me to a job at a color-separation house where I first came in contact with four-color printing. This in turn led to a 20-year-plus career in graphic design and digital imaging. I have worked as a graphic designer and digital imager for a variety of clients, including A&M Records, Warner Bros. Records and Virgin Records. Most recently I have lent my skills to Smog Design in Silverlake CA.

My work has included computer imaging since 1988. In 1988, there was no Photoshop, and the possibilities for digital imaging were quite limited. Over the past two decades, digital imaging and I have grown up together. My work has changed and expanded with the technology. I strive to use the technology to illuminate my artistic vision rather than to allow it to dictate what I create.Thus the play between digital and traditional media (old and new) is an important aspect of my work. Sometimes I lean heavily towards the traditional (including painting and drawing), sometimes towards the digital (scanning and creating on computer). Over the past few years, as photography has changed from film to digital, this media has come to play a significant role in my work as well.

I was fortunate to begin working with Nash Editions in their early years and have continued the relationship, collaborating on dozens of sensual prints since the late 1980s. As the digital print media has matured, Nash Editions has consistently provided a supportive environment for my experimentation, updating the collaboration found in a traditional printmaking studio.

I also produce editions, along with unique works, in my studio. With printing technology now available to individual artists, my experimentation has expanded. It's an exciting time to be working in this new media and I feel fortunate to have worked throughout its development. My work includes standard prints on rag paper, as well as elaborate painted and constructed surfaces incorporating the giclee print process with the traditional media of collage and acrylic paint. I also work in oil paint and watercolor crayon on a regular basis.

My work is included in many private and corporate collections.
