Collage/Mixed Media & Expressive Artist | Professor Emeritus
San Diego, CA | 760-525-5432
Artist Statement:
As an artist, I create intricate mixed-media compositions using paper, acrylic paint and gold leaf. Each piece invites the viewer to look closer—not just at the textures and colors, but at the layered stories embedded within. I aim to reveal the inner depth of the women I portray.
