Short Bio

I'm a retired animation artist trained in the traditional hand drawn animation. I retired in 2008 after 42 years in the industry and have been painting ever since. You can find some of the shows I worked on at https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0715319/

Statement

I studied drawing and film arts at Chouinard Art Institute (1962-1966) and have been in the animation industry since 1966. My first job in the film industry was at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank where I worked on "The Jungle Book" and "Winnie The Pooh And The Blustery Day". Since then I've worked on hundreds of TV cartoon shows for Walt Disney Studios, Hanna-Barbera, Filmation Studios (Fat Albert, The Archies, Star Trek and others), MGM Animation (Pink Panther), Universal Studios (Earthworm Jim) and The Cartoon Network (Cow And Chicken and I. M. Weasel) and a few others.
 I started painting in 1998 while on a vacation in Maui and enjoyed the experience so much I’ve been at it ever since, continually trying to enhance my perception and skills.
I am a member of The Animation Guild, Academy of Television Arts and Sciences,  Arts Council of Placer County, Rocklin Fine Arts and the American Impressionist Society.
