about the artist
At the age of five I was diagnosed as being color blind. When asked by others how I am able to paint if I can't distinguish color, I simply answer. "I put a lot of trust and belief in my Muse that all will come out right." (I read the labels on the tubes of paint.)
I have studied fine arts in Northern California, Spain, Mexico, Central America and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
Early in my career, I was influenced by the works of Van Gogh and Dali. My Later travels to Spain, where I studied Art History, exposed me to the styles of Goya, Carravagio, and Velasquez. I also admire the work of the English artist, William Turner.
A tenth generation New Mexican, my culture, family history, and religion have strongly influenced my present work. I currently live and work in Taos, New Mexico.
