I was at Coronado high as a freshman in 1972 -3. My navy father was redeployed to Pensacola naval air station along Florida’s gulf coast. I enjoyed the warm blue waters, white sand beaches and canoe trips down the swampy rivers, but the racism, bigotry, humidity and bugs was no Coronado. I finished my high school years at a racially tense southern minded public high school with barbed wire around the fences, deputized teachers who packed heat. It was a far cry from the casual dreamy lifestyle and cool hip attitudes at Coronado high. I missed that a lot.

I had begun exhibiting my art while in Coronado and continued to show throughout my teen years. I had enough success to encourage me to pursue art for a living as an adult.

Married, divorced, no kids, years of art shows, bla, bla,

Now I am both a painter and sculptor with many public works on display in several cities and hundreds of private collections. I settled in the art colony of Laguna Beach California.
