About me

I live & work in Albuqueruqe, New Mexico, USA.

I'm a lifelong artist who delights in working in various mediums and techniques. While I focus on meditative Chinese brush painting, I hesitate to call myself a fill-in-the-blank artist. I do what intrigues, fascinates, inflames, involves, or otherwise entrances and grabs me with that imperative "gotta do it." That's what art is all about. Gotta do it. Gotta see it. Gotta live it.

Art is important to me as an essential part of the living experience. It's a lifelong journey and I'm thrilled when others like (and collect) my work. It tells me I've reached out and accompanied them on part of their own life's journey--which is a special window of time and experience that is both momentary and infinite.

If I'm not drawing, painting, or otherwise expressing myself (however badly, however wonderfully), I'm not in harmony with everything around me. I'm also a Taoist and a lot of my artwork reflects my spiritual pathway
(the art of compassion, simplicity, and patience). I practice Qi Gong meditation and my brush paintings are an extension of that meditative process.

I currently live and work in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My studio is located in downtown Albuquerque, in the Wells Park area (at the Factory on 5th Art Space). I show at a wide range of local fairs, conventions, and art gatherings across the state.

I embrace all forms of arts--from poppy, outsider creations and re-purposed recycle art to traditional "fine" arts, photography, digital arts, and diversions.

For "mental food," I draw on a wide range of subjects. I study Eastern religions, Chinese deities and history, folk tales, world mythology, and foreign languages--each offering its own tantalizing plate of material. I'm also deeply involved in the "science of fantasy"; the exploration of fantastical worlds, creatures, beings, and new angles of existence. The golden age of illustrators, modernist poetry, Taoism & Buddhism, modernist poetry, universal icons and symbols, outsider / lowbrow art, impressionism, video game imagery, classical Chinese motifs, and even Japanese animation feed my creative coals.
