My creative pursuits began in film as a Co-Producer and Visual Effects Producer. My film credits include AVATAR, THE DARK KNIGHT, THE GREAT GATSBY and THE JUNGLE BOOK.
I developed my creative eye while sitting in dark theaters analyzing images as they evolved over the course of production and post.
My film work took me to many distant locations for extended periods. I began taking my drawing pad with me everywhere. Drawing something every day. Drawing lead naturally to painting.
Now I live in the Palm Springs area where I focus my energy toward developing as a painter.
