ARTIST'S BIO

I am 35 years old and currently teaching graphic art design classes at Art Institute of California-Inland Empire and Westwood College in Anaheim, CA. I majored in fine art at Cal State San Bernardino University from 1990-1994. I then attended Cal Poly Pomona University and majored in Graphic Design. I graduated with my BA in 1998. I worked in the field from 1997 until present for such companies as KNBC, Alien Ant Farm, DreamWorks Records, United Ad Label, and as Art Director for Printing Solutions.

From 2002-2006, I was a graphic design instructor at Westwood College, Upland, CA. In January of 2003, I began working on my MA at Cal State San Bernardino University. During the summer of 2004, I transferred into the MFA program at Academy of Arts. My major is in non-figurative painting. I will be graduating in December 2007.

My style is a blend of impressionism and abstract expressionism painting. My inspirations are Bleckner, Robert Rauschenberg, Warhol and Diebenkorn. Once I finish my terminal degree, I plan on continuing to teach and showing my work through the Inland Empire and greater Los Angeles.

Currently you can see my work from September 20-October 26 in the Bronco Gallery at Cal Poly Pomona University, Hall of Justice in the Civic Center in San Francisco, CA until Jan 2008 and at Falcon Interiors in Los Angeles, CA.
