Botticelli, The Birth of Venus, acrylic on 15x20 inch marble slab tile
I have worked as a professional painter in the Monterey Peninsula for 35 years. My background includes commercial and commissioned work in ceramics, on canvas, and in murals. Many of my commissions were murals painted on stone tiles that were installed in client’s kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor patios. I love being able to help my customers realize their vision. It is important to turn these dreams into reality. When I was finished, they would invariably exclaim that I had painted exactly what they had in mind. I really enjoy commissioned work.
I am currently working on a series of local landscape paintings on canvas and also on stone tiles or stone slabs, which would be ready for installation in a kitchen, bath or patio. I’m also teaching a class in Sumi-e painting at the Carmel Foundation.
I have always loved classical art. Early in my career, I emulated some of my favorites, especially Botticelli, Bouguereau and Michaelangelo. I painted some of these on marble and stone tiles and installed them in my home. I also taught painting and ceramics to children and adults, including watercolor, Sumi-e and overglaze enamel.
Recent work includes my interpretation of fantasy stories that my mother read to me at bedtime. This series is called "Dreams Can Come True". It is a tribute to her and has been a fabulous journey of memory for me.
