Artist Statement:
I was born in North Dakota
and eventually migrated to
California. I earned my BFA at
California College of Arts and
Crafts in Advertising Art in
1959 and an MFA in 1961 in
Printmaking. With the
exception of teaching
printmaking at Hayward State
University, most of my career
was spent in the field of
advertising working as an art
director.
Art to me should reflect
personal experiences of the
artist, both real and imagined
and no matter what I do, mine
does. I am very critical of my
work and working with a
computer to generate art
provides me with the ability
to go back to an earlier stage
in the development and make
changes. My work can't just
humm, it has to sing before I
call it finished....
