I work with a variety of mediums: oil, acrylic, colored pencil,

digital

A bit of background about myself

I grew up behind an art school in Hollywood where my

friends and

I would sneak in on weekends and look at the

glorious mess the

students had made during the week. (We

also saw a great deal of

art.) Across the street, on Camrose

Avenue, an artist colony

thrived. This is where I spent my

childhood. I spent hours

watching these artists and asking

them about their techniques. I

would go home and try to

imitate them. I was a spectacular failure.

Nevertheless, I still loved how vibrant colors caressed the

canvas. My uncle, Al Boime, Professor of art history at UCLAs

grew older I became interested in all the creative arts-

dance,

theater, music-you name it.

After college, I picked up the brush once more and have

been

painting and drawing ever since-along with teaching

and

participating in various entrepreneur adventurous (one

being this

web site which has been a most rewarding

experience .
