In La Jolla, at age 11, I  was blown away by Rembrandt's art, and I begin painting. At 17, I started selling my paintings and drawings.

I studied under modernist Edgar Ewing as a fine art major at U.S.C., then studied in Holland at the Free Academy Psychopolis. Rembrandt, Vermeer, Picasso, and the French Impressionists serve as my influences.

I lived and exhibited throughout Europe and the United States; painting fulltime. In the early 1990's, for only one day a week,  I taught Life Drawing, Drawing and Composition, and Painting at Otis/Parsons in Los Angeles.

I moved to New York,  and continued to paint and draw prolifically. I started the Newberry Workshop and share my knowledge through a series of online Art-Tutorials.

Opening the Newberry Gallery in Santa Monica, California in the Spring of 2009. My work can be seen in a growing image library of over 600 images, one of the largest archives of a living artist on the web, created and hosted by Brett Holverstott.
