Lottery


1983 "Lottery" is a life size oil on canvas, 8 x 4 feet, in the collection of Sandy Walker. This piece was inspired by a dream of the Colosseum, as looked at from nearby, with a horse standing in one of the upper openings. This was one of the paintings in my first one person show at Fuller-Goldeen Gallery in San Francisco, three months after getting my MFA. This painting was used as one of the annual posters for the Hampton Classic, and sold out (although I still have some available).

Chivalry


1982 "Chivalry" is 3 x 4 feet, in a private collection. This painting was used as the cover image for the catalog of "Ceci N'est Pas le Surrealisme", a large group survey of contemporary surrealist painters exhibited at the Fisher Gallery, UCLA and the Pratt in Manhattan. I had several pieces in the show, while still an undergrad.

Getting Started

Welcome!
If you are familiar with my work, you know you will be seeing images of my contemporary oils on canvas, primarily of horses. If my work is new to you, I hope you will stop here from time to time to see some images of this body of work, begun in 1980. I will post events and announcements, the occasional remark on the ethics of equestrian sports, and bits about an artist's life.

Bear with me while I attempt to upload a picture of my studio.
