About The Artist

In the early 70's, I was immersed in the conceptual art movement in the San Francisco Bay Area and created many installation and performance pieces. These works included Objects & Theater (1976, 80 Langton Street) —The Voice from the Sea (1977, Oberlin Dance Collective Performance Gallery)—and The Unexpected Always Happens (Museum of Conceptual Art). In the early 1980's I decided to work primarily on canvas, combining painting with mixed media elements.
