- Biographical Information
- I received a BFA in painting from the Museum Art School in Portland in 1971. My work has been featured in numerous exhibitions including a one-person exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum Modern Art Pavilion. With the acquisition of an etching press in 1976 I began to work solely on etching and continue to do so. At present I am pursuing a mixture of imagery gleaned from art history, sidewalks, maps, fish, turtles, and shells, geometry, flowers, celestial skies, my daughter's world, etc. I am exhilarated and exhausted by drawing and forever excited by the powerful black density of an etched line. My work is included in the City of Portland and the Portland Art Museum also owns a copy of "MCMCXXVII" (Funkhouser, 1982).
