A little History,

During 1967 I took over the Parnassus art club café at the University of Washington, and with eleven employees ran it successfully, changing art exhibitions every two weeks and awarding three full tuition grants.

In 1968 I graduated from the University of Washington with an emphasis in Sculpture, love of Anthropology ( my minor ), and a teaching certificate for my mother.

I taught at the Factory of Visual Arts and the Seattle Parks Dept. ( a program I created ), working with young children, adults, and blind senior citizens.

With the aid of a Ford Foundation Scholarship Grant I attended Yale University and graduated with a BFA and MFA in painting in 1971.

Moving to Atlantic City to be head of the Art Dept. at Richard Stockton College, I created and developed the Arts Program from the ground up ( hiring faculty and program development ).

Five years later I moved to NYC spending the first year painting, thinking, and exploring the city, and during this period exhibited in Philadelphia, Atlantic city, and New York.

In 1978 I started BL Frames to support my work, hiring young artists and training them in archival museum framing ( 30 employees over a fifteen year period ).

I was an artist in residence for three months at Altos de Chavon in the Dominican Republic in 1986 where my involvement with tropical imagery strengthened. 1988 saw my first New York Solo exhibition at the Fawbush Gallery and by 1991 I closed my business to concentrate on painting and teaching, joining the faculty at the School of Visual Arts in 1994. Watercolor magazine published 8 pages on my work in the summer issue 2001. In the last four years I have exhibited my work in New York, L.A., Philadephia, and Chicago. This past spring I went surfing in Costa Rica and had three shows at the same time in Pennsylvania.
