From the beautiful Inuit artwork here in the Northwest, and the colors of the flora in our Emerald City of Seattle every season in the Northwest blooms have touched my artwork in some way. To my Teen years in the S.F. Bay Area absorbing the 1960's culture of Filmore West and Winterland Concert posters, Berkeley Barb and other political newspaper artwork. The flower Power art of "The Yellow Submarine". The 60's Renaissance of Maxfield Parish and Art Deco. The comic stylings of Dori Seder and R. Crumb. It has all influenced my artwork. I have been driven to draw what I see.

My early childhood years of living overseas had me in awe at the Sistine Chapel, it's beautifully painted ceilings by Michael Angelo, it's stained glass windows. The multitude of sculpture everywhere you turned during our travels through Italy. The Italian Glass makers of Venice inspired me enough to spend 12 years as a glass worker for the micro electronic industry. The primary colors and joyful scenes of the Haitian and African, and Native American, and Western artwork my family collected over the years.

The beautiful , ornate Asian art and metalwork my father brought back from Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia. My life has been filled with beautiful artwork. It is how I reference the world. How the light hits a friends face during a conversation. The dappled play of leaves's shadow dancing on the sidewalk. How many textures of bricks on one Pioneer Square building. I'm driven to celebrate the feelings connected to the life I see with my art.
