Printed for artists Emmy Lou Packard and Byron Randall, painted mural for UFW office in Los Angeles, directed films on artists Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco and Jasper Johns, have written many successful grant applications for film and media projects, served on film festival juries and funding panels for the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Why are you interested in serving on this Board, Commission or Committee? I care deeply about art,especially public art. I studied art, have painted a mural, worked as a fine art printer and made films on artists Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco and Jasper Johns, all for the PBS American Masters series. Emeryville has a wonderful history of supporting artists and encouraging public art, and I believe that I can contribute to the process. In these difficult times art is more important that ever. It is not a luxury, but something that can help us nourish our spirits
