I'm an abstract painter who started out as an impressionist.  My instructor (Ken Ingals) kept telling me I would be abstract and I thought he was crazy.  1976 is when I started painting and two years later I attended Glendale Community College where I met Evelyn Myners.  She had me painting with what I thought was a broom and taught me to express.  I love that lady for setting me free and causing me to think out of the box.  In 1990 I met Pete Nicastro who was very abstract in his approches with all kinds of applications so I apprenticed with him for about 6 years.  That period of time was more about science than art work.  We were constantly pushing the envelope to see what new application we could come up with.  Pete will always have a great influence on the way I approach my work.
