Paintings - 1970s
In the autumn of 1972 I moved from New York to California and the following year began attending the University of California, Los Angeles. The UCLA Art department of the 1970s was an exciting crossroads of Post-Modern “pluralism” and celebrated artists such as William Brice, James Valerio, James Doolin, Tom Wudl, and David Hockney were among the faculty that I was fortunate to have studied with.
