The son of an artist mother, he has been creating ever since childhood.
At 29, he returned to Los Angeles in 1985, where he has remained in Echo Park.
A self-taught artist, he paints on a daily basis using silver, copper and gold-leaf, acrylics and oils on everything from canvas, metal and tin, to cut out wood figures and furniture.
His work is exhibited regularly throughout the United States and his work is in collections throughout the world.
