Somehow landing in Los Angeles after stays in San Diego and NYC.I won first art show at age six after copying a flamingo that one of the older kids drew. The guilt of this image appropriation has followed me ever since.I started painting in 1987 when a friend gave him some paint for Christmas and said, “You keep saying you are an artist, paint!” Seven months later my first show was a hit. My work has since been displayed in museums on 3 continents.A lot of my work has been influenced over the years by dealings with the health care system so much of it is "body based"My current series is titled “Scar-Art” and is an ongoing series of Monoprints of Human Scars chronicles life-changing events in people’s lives.
