I grew up in the wooded hills of a Pennsylvania river valley in a family full of cultural contradictions. Commercial art school and a university fine arts program provided a variety of skills. Illustration and design have been a part of my working life but I’ve drawn my greatest inspiration from the beautiful places I have lived…Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Alaska, and the Catskills of New York. Home is the Pacific Northwest where I am surrounded by music and family in our hand-built cedar house.
