I began painting at age 5 and was immediately an abstract expressionist with large drippy non-realist paintings.  I ultimately became a lawyer instead of a painter.  In 2000 I reconnected with my art and began showing my work within a few years.  Since reengaging with my painting I studied at California College of Arts and Crafts and with artists Ed Gilliam, Mira White and Robert Burridge.  I am about to make my debut as in independent film producer with the upcoming release of a feature film about the artistic process and struggle, "The Twilight Angel."
