Originally from Chicago, IL
Awarded ‘Master of Fine Arts’ degree while teaching art in NYC in the 60’s and early 70s.
During this period, I had several shows in Manhattan galleries as one of the group called – by the critics – “What’s Next”.
My work – at that time – was executed in oils on canvas and largely impressionistic with a dose of surrealism.
Moved to CA in the mid-70s and began traveling to Southeast Asia. My time from the mid-70s to the late-80s was divided between the U.S. and Taiwan, China, Malaysia and Thailand.
Lived – virtually full-time - in China and Malaysia for almost 20 years thereafter …
