Artist Statement:
I grew up in a small town in
Northern Iowa, played
football, coached the swimming
team, and graduated from the
University of Iowa with a BA
in printmaking studying under
Mauricio Lasansky. I then went
into the Army and ended up

and MFA in printmaking while
studying under Jan Stussy and
Stanton Mac-Donald Wright. The

dried up on my Fulbright Award
to Portugal, because of the
Angola War, I was lucky to get
hired by USC where I taught
printmaking as a junior
faculty member. I also
replaced professors at UCLA
when they went on sabaticals,
and taught one year at Pierce
College. In 1977 I tried Real
Estate, you know just for the
summer, but by fall I had
purchased Century 21 Hollywood
Inc. and had a new vocation
going. Now 31 years into real
estate, I'm coming full circle
and starting to paint little
quick studies 9X12. I'm using
just 1/2 inch brushes and 5
colors. I intentionally limit
my time to 2 hours after which
I stop and throw ...

Now 31 years into real estate, I'm coming full circle and starting to paint little quick studies 9X12. I'm using just 1/2 inch brushes and 5 colors. I intentionally limit my time to 2 hours after which I stop and throw something away, or keep it. The fun for me is that these little studies can be scaned on my office FAX machine and e-mailed to my daughter in Long Beach, who is my best critic. She sends me her paintings as well, so we have great talks.
