Fine Art nominee

Dreamscapes is a series I have been working on most of my life. I add color & photoshop enhance my photographs taken over my lifetime. I want to create dreamy, romantic, evocative images that reflect my positive outlook on life!
Color is uplifting & emotional & a major part of my art.

I have been expressing my joy of art with paint, shapes and colors since I was very young. I began as a painter, evolved into a photographer, and eventually began painting on my photographic prints over thirty years ago. I hand painted vivid colors on my Cibachrome prints, creating a wonderful new reality.  Now I scan my one-of-a-kind hand-painted prints, enhance them with Photoshop and produce limited edition archival prints.
I have been shown worldwide in many solo exhibitions including: 
Butler Institute of American Art; Carnegie Art Museum in Oxnard, CA; Laguna Art Museum. CA; Petersen Automotive Museum, LA, CA;
LA County Museum of Natural History, CA; Monterey Museum of Art, CA; Louis Stern Gallery, West Hollywood, CA; Wall Space Gallery, Santa Barbara, CA; Nancy Hoffman Gallery, New York City; L’Image Gallery, Rome, Italy. 
I have been in many group exhibits and collected by museums, foundations, corporations and individuals worldwide. I have 65 large art works in two important venues at UCLA, on exhibit for the next ten & 25 large artworks at UCSB, on exhibit for the next ten years!
