California Landscapes - Abstract Expressionism

About Me

Background

I was born and raised in the most beautiful, sophisticated and diverse city in California- San Francisco.  I feel fortunate to have been a part of all the changes San Francisco has seen and how it has influenced me as a person and a painter.

Education

I graduated from San Francisco's Academy of Art College and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Commercial Illustration.

My Philosophy on Life

Photos by Bruce Davidson

a)  Keep your life simple and your mind complex.  In other words, read, look, listen, absorb and most importantly, express!
b)  If you do something, do it well.  Strive and give it your best!
c)  Keep your environment clean.  This starts with the most basic place, your home.  Then extend it to your street, your city and ultimately the Earth and our atmosphere.
d)  Always give back.  If you have a talent or skill, share it.  Volunteer and reach out to the kids at local schools, visit with the elderly.  Giving of yourself is the ultimate gift.
