I've taught art and drama in secondary schools for over three decades and made a little art on the side as well. I am adept at drawing, painting, photography, sculpture and ceramics, but I've never been the smartest guy in the room. I act, direct and design for theatre, and I love puppetry and pantomime.

Let’s create and do art!

I was born in Sacramento California in 1973 and grew up in Wenatchee, graduated from Wenatchee High in 1991. I studied speech, communications and music in Eugene Oregon graduating in 1995. I dedicated attention to my art, and art teaching, in 2016 under the tutelage of Jan Cook Mack, and completed the Teaching Artist Training Lab TAT in Seattle in 2019. I’ve taught locally, globally, and online; at studios, schools, galleries, wineries, clubs, restaurants, plein air locations, retreats, and in the Wenatchee Museum and Cultural Center’s MakerSpace. In 2019, I was thrilled to be selected as the Pybus Poster contest winner, and one of my dahlia paintings was included in the Pybus Foundation’s portfolio. I was selected to create educational videos for Arts-WA Washington State Arts commission through the Creative Start studio. I led the steering committee for the new NCW Arts Alliance, a nonprofit that supports and promotes all artistic endeavors throughout the region. I believe that the arts are vital to the creative expression of all of us, and our overall health. The arts are a pillar of education that provides creativity for entrepreneurial dreams, community’s diverse and inclusive expression, and every individual’s unique power.
