Boulder City Artist Profile
I am honored to be able to write about the artists of Boulder City in Boulder City Magazine.

Since my first deadline is just days away, I will say a bit about myself and save the best for other artists later. I am a photographer but call myself a "Photo-Artist."

I was born and raised in California and had an early interest in photography. My folks helped with cameras and darkroom equipment and I spent all my extra time and money on photographic events and equipment. I probably spent too much time in my darkroom when I should have been studying. I was school photographer (Los Angeles Pacific College/High School) until graduation.

After graduation I joined the Air Force (during the Korean war) and suddenly became a radio operator. My photography took a back seat until many years later.

While in the Air Force I took up oil painting and studied under Ina Hoak, a prominent artist in Anchorage, Alaska. I retired in Alaska and was manager-artist for Gallery 20, Inc., a cooperative gallery that boasted two locations. My specialty was speed paintings of Mount McKinley which was great fun for me. I painted the mountain in less than 15 minutes hundreds of times.


Photography is now my third career after 22 years in the USAF and 17 years in the printing business here in Boulder City. I love shooting photos of landscapes, architecture and weddings.

I will be featuring a new artist each month and hope to make the biographies interesting for everyone.
