RECENT WORK

My most recent three-dimensional works are my installations Passage, Turning Points, and Any Way. My most recent painting and drawings are of Houses, Freeways, and a series of abstractions based upon my installations.

 

BIO.

I grew up in Chicago and graduated from North Park University with a Bachelor of Arts in painting and drawing in 1996.  While at North Park I studied under the direction of my mentor and friend Tim Lowly.  In 1999, I moved to New Mexico to attend the University of New Mexico at Albuquerque, where I obtained a Master of Fine Arts in painting and drawing in 2002.


I am currently a fulltime professor of painting and drawing at MiraCosta College in Oceanside California.  I have exhibited my artwork in galleries and museums across the United States and in Japan. I currently live in Oceanside, California with my wife Ayumi Shimoda and my son Gabriel.
