In 1999, my love of mid-century vintage clothing leapt out of my closet and onto the walls.
My paintings bring life to vintage clothing that once adorned real people, living the life. Some of them are larger so that one might sense the swing of their movements and imagine smell their sweat or perfume or the combination thereof. Some of them miniature. These are small versions of the outfits and styles that were popular at the time and captured the imaginations of children playing out real life scenarios.
I add brief narratives to my works to help explain what I was thinking when I created them, but I love to hear what others have to say and what emotions and thoughts they evoke for them. Drop me a line!
Southern California born and raised. Entered life in Riverside in the early 1970's, San Diego resident since the 1980's.
I could talk about music and art all day...oh, and dogs...and my kid too, he's pretty rad.
