I live in southwestern New Mexico adjacent to the Gila Wilderness and explore landscape-based themes and, when possible, teach.
Beginnings: I took two years of study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Bachelor of Science program. Notably, this included drawing with Irwin Weiss. I earned a B.F.A. in Painting from Tyler School of Art under the direction of two very different painters: Richard Cramer and Stephen Greene. From Richard Cramer I took an interest in process and the science of color. From Stephen Greene I took an appreciation of mystery. Greene was a disciple of Philip Guston and it was Guston's work that I followed intensely while in graduate school while at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
From 1993 to the present I have done a substantial amount of plein air work. More recently this has been integrated with studio work.
