Comment:
I've been a self-employed artist (painter) since 1979. (It all began at Whittier High with Yosh Nakamura, to which I am still grateful.) After getting a BA and MFA at UCSB, I taught art for 10 years, including the Academy of Art College in San Francisco for the final 7 years, resigning in 1979 to pursue painting full-time. It was while teaching at the Academy that I met my wife, Lori, who is also an artist, in 1975 (she was a student of mine---I know, I know) and we've been together since 1977.
