| | I'm a self-taught artist with some training. I received most of my training in the Marine Corps as an illustrator for Fleet Marine Force manuals, posters, charts and slides, etc. After I left the Marine Corps in 1970, I joined the Black Panther Party where I was greatly influenced by the artist and author Emory Douglass. Between 1973 and 1993 I held various jobs and was introduced to the Washington DC gallery scene. I hung my art in various galleries in Washington, DC until I came to California in 1993 where I worked as a graphic designer, art teacher and drug counselor for a while. I currently manage a behavioral program at a court school in San Francisco, CA. I sometimes hang my art in City Arts gallery in San Francisco. Whatever I am as an artist is in my work. What you get, is what it is. Sometimes I have an idea, and sometimes I want to see what it looks like. I have to ask myself, "What is that?" and I struggle for a name for the piece. |
