I began my exhibition history in 1973 while an art student at Cal State Los Angeles.  I continued with graduate school at the

University of California at Irvine and recieved an MFA degree from that school in 1977.  Two of my large paintings were shown

in the "Our Own Artists" show at Newport Harbor Art Museum in 1979. I became a charter member of the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art in 1980 where I was in many small group and member shows. I learned filmmaking at Saddleback College 

and Orange Coast College. In 1994, I became actively involved in making films and began curating a film festival at Griffin-Linton

Contemporary Exhibitions, an art gallery in Costa Mesa presenting outdoor screenings on warm summer nights. That year, I also resumed painting after a ten year hiatus. From 1997 to 2011, I was co-curator and programmer of the Arizona State University Short Film and Video Festival, working with John Spiak who had attended many of the shows at Griffin-Linton. John is currently the director of Cal State Fullerton's Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana. In 1997, I was incuded in a group show "Grins : Humor and Whimsy in Contemporary Art"  at the Millard Sheets Gallery in Pomona and one of my works was featured on the catalogue cover.  Also in 1997, I was in group shows at the Armand Hammer Sales and Rental Gallery "L. A. Current",  and at Edward Giardina Contemporary Art in Santa Ana "Best Bet : A survey of Orange County Contemporary Art". I was an original tenant of the Santora Building at the outset of the Santa Ana Artists Village and was an active participant in the monthly artwalks there until 2005 curating, on the average, nine shows a year in that gallery / studio space.  I also held numerous indoor and outdoor film

screenings in the Artists Village area. In 1998, I curated "Facetious Portraits and Other Character Assassinations" at the Irvine Fine Arts Center and, in 1999, "A Salute to Animation" at Orange County's John Wayne Airport. This show included a large, historic selection of Chuck Jones' early work with Warner Brothers as well as storyboards from a current episode of  "The Simpsons". Also shown were early Disney animation drawings and cels from the 1968 Beatles film "Yellow Submarine". In 2002, I began co-curating with artist Amy Caterina a Santa Ana-based film festival and video production enterprise called Rat Powered Films which held numerous screenings in the Black Box Theater at Grand Central Art Center showcasing local and national short filmmakers' productions. Also in 2002, I had a one-person show, "Definite Ambiguities", in the Main Gallery at Cal State Fullerton, exhibiting

forty paintings, three films, a video projection work, and various props from the films. That year, I was commisioned to paint a 100 foot long temporary mural across from the Grand Central Art Center in Santa Ana.  Currently, and since 2010, preparator and occasional curator at SCA Project Gallery in Pomona working on ten shows a year. A curating highlight there was "Earthviews - A Landscape Show"  in 2010 including artists from the Inland Empire, Orange and Los Angeles counties.  I am also producing a constant output of new paintings.
