Artist's Biography

I started my art career after taking an intensive plein air painting course with Carole Ray Watanabe in southwest France during the summer of 1998. Excited with artistic promise I returned to San Francisco and began taking a series of painting and printmaking workshops during 1998 through 2001.

Many of my instructors encouraged me to paint and not pursue formal art school. Being in the health field professionally for many years I have been awed by the natural wonder of the human body and it’s ability to creatively heal itself using the magic of it’s own energy systems. I also am in awe of the magic of creativity with painting and often liken the healing process I practice on a patient to the colorful expression I use on a canvas.

I was so inspired by the discovery of my late-blooming artistic expression that in 2001 I decided to open a small art instruction school “ArtJuice Studios” in San Francisco, to encourage other’s creativity. I had my first solo painting show in 2002 and happily had a very positive response to my work.
