Abstract paintings on silk and art quilts.
San Jose California

Most of my career has been as a high tech manager in corporate America.  During those 25 years, I yearned for something more creative than my work provided.  For the past few years, I've focused on mastering silk painting techniques, adapting and experimenting with new techniques useful to the abstract painter, understanding general and abstract composition in art, and creating linkages between silk painting and quilting.  In so doing, I've discovered a style that is uniquely mine.
