One of the disasters in 2011 was a tornado that hit Joplin. In this painting, a young woman has gone to search for anything valuable, or just useful, in the wreckage left behind. She makes her way under a broken tree carrying a basket and a list of things missing.

She finds some sheets and pillows under pieces of plywood, and maybe record books oo sheets of music. A window blind is wrapped around the tree branch overhead. In the distance a barbed wire fence and a white, foggy sky.

The painting was done with pallet knives, and is impressionist. The young woman is calm and determined. She wears a black outfit and grey leather gloves.

In my work, I'm looking for that place where work and play are one, where spirit and matter meet.

I have taught at Texas Tech, Amarillo College, Laney College in downtown Oakland, California, at UC Berkeley, and at the College of the Virgin Islands. At Laney, where I taught for forty years, I studied art with Bill Snider, who used the techniques of the Dutch masters to paint Disney characters.

Retirement has given me time to paint in earnest, and to explore different types of paintings. In September, 2013, Artmajeur honored me with a Silver Award.

After forty years in the San Francisco Bay Area, my family and I have moved to the foothills of the Sierras, and retirement has given me a chance to paint in earnest, to make painting part of every day. I've explored landscapes, news, portraits and figures, sports animals, surrealism.

Art is a way to learn about the world, about yourself and your experiences, the way you see and feel life, what you value. Welcome to my galleries! I hope you find some things to enjoy.
