About Me



Solace, 2006, 24 x 18 in., watercolor
Side, 2006, 9 x 7 in., watercolor

I am a visual artist in Santa Monica, CA. I have been passionately making art all my life, and I am so fortunate to have a family and friends who humor me in this obsession. Over the past decade and a half, I have exhibited my work in over forty solo and group shows, in the Los Angeles area and around the country. These days I'm working steadily on my ongoing series of mock elegies in watercolor, depicting staged existential dramas starring all the bugs in my studio.

These are some samples of my recent watercolors ...
