How I spent my summer vacation...and more.



For the past three years I’ve been a participating artist in Marinscapes, an annual showcase of about thirty Marin County landscape artists in late June, with proceeds from sales benefiting the Buckelew Programs.

I took time off from my landscape painting to focus on a project I have long wanted to do: illustrating the lyrics of Peter, Paul & Mary’s song ‘Autumn to May’ as a book.














 This was a very different kind of challenge for me, drawing from my years of character animation in the video game industry, creating images and metamorphoses – my favorite thing! The completed project is now a limited first edition hardcover book with 32 pages of color illustrations. All copies of Tales from Autumn to May have sold! But happy to make a list of anyone interested in a second edition.



Currently I am about three-quarters finished with a 20” x 15” watercolor of Papermill Creek in Samuel P. Taylor Park. Of course, like all my work, it will also be available as a giclée print.


As always, I am happy to have visitors to my studio. So contact me and set up a visit!
