BIO
I’ve been painting since early childhood. I attended San Jose State University, studying under Eric Oback, Robert Freimark (student of Henri Matisse) and Sam Richardson, graduating with scholarship honors in 1968. I have since been in numerous one-person and group shows throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, and in Colorado, Arizona and Japan. In 2001 I had a one-person exhibit at the Museum of Northeast Nevada, as featured in VIA magazine. I currently participate each October in Santa Cruz Open Studios, and other shows throughout
the year.

As a songwriter, I’ve performed in clubs and venues in California, Canada, and on Island Princess Cruises, and wrote and produced the album “Julienne” in 1980. My most recent release is “Restless Heart” featuring 14 original songs, available on CD.
