About the Artist
- I am a Northern California artist who passes time by manipulating and mutating various forms of the natural world. I am intrigued by organisms that tend to slither, crawl, ooze, fly, strike and usually bite! So if you have a little time on your hands click on the GALLERY button in this post or in the upper right hand corner of the page and visit my world, thanks!
Education-Bachelor of Arts California State University, Sacramento
Concentration on two dimensional studio art
and printmaking, Studied under Bill Allen and John Dreisbach
