I am an artist living in Andersonville, Chicago. I work
primarily in watercolor and mixed media, drawing inspiration from the life and
architecture of his vibrant neighborhood. My art is also influenced by my
studies in Asian culture, languages and calligraphy.
I grew upin Northern California and studied Mandarin Chinese at the Defense Language
Institute in Monterey, California. After the military, I spent many years in
NYC working as a graphic designer and computer programmer, before moving to
Chicago in 2007. While in New York, I studied the Japanese language and
calligraphy at the Japan Society, where I earned the distinction of being
designated a master calligrapher.
I am active in the Urban Sketchers community in Chicago. In 2019 I won a national award for
his mixed media urban sketch of Chicago's Chinatown.
My art is currently available at the Andersonville Galleria in Chicago.
