Chromacolor Painting

I was always drawing and painting in my youth. My first career was as an interior designer and colorist for Silicon Valley giants and later Themed Entertainment Designer of award winning attractions for major Hollywood studios. I love storytelling! My early interest in drawing and painting was stronger than ever while leading theme park concept design projects at Universal Studios in Hollywood. During the late '90's, I followed the urge to develop my own personal artistic voice and began to create my works. My focus slowly changed from themed entertainment to fine art and my second career was born. To this date, I have exhibited nationally and internationally. This includes participation in many art fairs including Saatchi Art, The Other Art Fair, LA Art Show, Art Miami, group exhibitions in London, New York, Beijing and Tokyo. My work is represented at Gallery 825, Los Angeles Art Association, and at the collections of The Wonder Museum, Chicago; Grand Valley State University, Michigan; BG Gallery, Santa Monica; City of Toronto, City of Malibu, Tokyo National Museum, as well as many public and private collections internationally.

As a dreamer and storyteller I have worked on award winning theme parks creating an experiential narrative based on films or stories - my art continues this tradition as it excites and gives energy to a place where you can dream and transcend into a meditative place to heal and connect in a higher spiritual domain - a place where you can question, drift and wander...
