Artist Statement:
Scale in the
architectural environment has
always fascinated me. I began
my career as an advertising
art director, including
billboards, in image driven
Los Angeles. Since 1977, I
have created site specific,
publicly placed paintings and
sculpture, as a full time
professional, for major
private and public sector
institutions. With a degree in
History from UCLA, my focus
was on the role of location
and connection to the past in
contemporary society, often
reflecting my heritage as a
fourth generation Californian.
My first interests were in
abstracted architecture, and
then, after my Amelia Earhart
mural in 1991, the human
figure and how people relate
to each other. In both my
public and private work, I
thought of myself as a visual
historian, both
representational and as
narrative. Since returning to
Sacramento in 1984, I have
maintained a consistent solo
and group exhibition schedule,
showing work that is driven,
not by location, but by
internal interests.
Increasingly, my work has
come off the wall, starting
with a 60 foot mural at Jack
London Square in Oakland,
1996. I needed to compel
people to become more engaged
in the murals and to
accomplish this, I added
ceramic elements to the 2D
mural...
