Recent series of one-man painting exhibits: Rome, Italy as well as Portland, Eugene, and a juried group show in Corvallis (Oregon). Show in Rome, Italy was last summer at the famous Galleria d'Arte La Borgognona. Although I was a philosophy major at SUNYAB, I studied under Beagleman at the Albright Art Museum as a child and then briefly under Tony Sisti. Largely self-taught since then, I now teach oil painting at the University of Oregon's Craft Center
