About Me
I was born in 1961 and grew up in Honolulu, Hawaii. Studied Fine Art (painting & drawing) at University of California at Santa Cruz (BA 1986) and The University of Iowa (MFA 1989). Moved to England in 1989 to teach studio art at New England College in West Sussex. Moved to Brighton, East Sussex, and was a founder member in 1995 of Phoenix Brighton, where I have my studio and also work as artistic programme manager. I maintain strong ties to Hawaii and return often.
