Bio & Resume
Originally from the Chicago area, I moved to Washington in 1957. I studied art at Western High School in Georgetown with Leon Berkowitz, a Washington Color Field School artist and teacher. Later I attended classes at the Corcoran School of Art where I studied photography with Mark Power .
I've been a resident of Capitol Hill since 1970 and former chairman of the Capitol Hill Art League Steering Committee. I am currently curating show's for the Pierce School Lofts Gallery and for Alcione Vinet's Park Cafe.
