His work has been included in exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis, the Albuquerque Museum, US Ambassador's Residence, Lima, Peru, the Tucson Museum of Art, the National Museum of the Marine Corps, as well as collections throughout the US and abroad.
Orchid Cluster
During this phase of my career, orchids always topped the list of flowers that I was inspired to paint. As I set up this arrangement, little did I know how my fascination with the shape and depth of each individual blossom would soon lead me into committing to a cluster of 32 Dendrobium Orchids. After three decades of painting mostly black and white faces, this experience was both challenging and rewarding.
