My Career in a Snapshot
Over the course of 40 plus years as a practicing artist I have exhibited and placed my work directly and through galleries around the world. I have had the good fortune to work with both brick and mortar and online galleries. Currently I am represented by Aura Galerías of México City. They can be reached at info@auragalerias.com or www.auragalerias.com .

I am most proud of my partnership with the US State Department's Art in Embassies program. I have worked with them on a few projects and currently have a painting in the US Ambassador's residence in Windhoek, Namibia.
I have also worked on the Dushanbe, Tajikistan exhibit for Ambassador Susan Elliot in which my painting Fantasia received special praise in the catalogue created for the exhibition. In her remarks the Ambassador called my painting "the flagship piece" of the exhibit which included works by prestigious artists Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg & Robert Indiana.
