| About the Artist: |
Over some 30 years as an artist, I’ve explored etching, monotypes, and woodblocks. Also, plexicuts which I handcolor. The woodblocks grew out of my interest in Japanese and German Expressionist woodblock prints, and their relatively low-tech production possibilities appeal to my sensibility and studio situation.
Since I’ve painted as long as I’ve made prints, hybrids like “All I Knew (Then)” which involve transferring a wet woodblock to a plywood panel, which may then be painted upon, are a logical union.
I received a M.F.A. from UC-Berkeley, where I studied with luminaries of Bay Area art like Joan Brown, Jay DeFeo, and Elmer Bischoff. My work has been collected by such public institutions as the Library of Congress; Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; and the Oakland Museum of California, and is in such corporate collections as Deutsche Banc Americas, San Francisco; Paine Webber, San Francisco; The California Endowment, San Francisco, and Keker & Van Nest.
I received a Gottlieb Foundation individual artist support grant in 2006, and the same year was artist-in-residence a the new de Young Museum in San Francisco.
I’ve exhibited regularly at the SFMOMA Artists Gallery in Fort Mason since 1982.
