At an early age, art and design allowed me to express myself. This passion for creativity led me to careers in architecture, design and art. I was blessed by starting my journey working for a former apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright and that led to a 40+ year career leading the design of many significant and award winning buildings around the Bay Area and California.
​
I'm drawn to exploring artifacts such as old cars, mannequins, skulls, etc. I have a passion for illustrating cars (and other vehicles) since I was a child. I seek out vehicles “in the wild”, so to speak, as it better expresses both their utility as well as their contextual settings. Over the past 5 years I have photographed nearly a hundred unique cars while walking the streets of San Francisco, New York, Seattle and Palm Springs.
