About the Artist
I studied illustration at The Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Hired by Disney Feature Animation Department was a dream come true. It was good fortune to be mentored by some of Walt Disney?s Nine Old Men, including Eric Larson, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson. Working as a key assistant, then animator, I found my most cherished calling in the area of story development and as a storyboard artist. Using the power of images to shape the emotions of story telling has been the foundation of my film work.
I worked nearly 20 years in the animation industry. Some of that time was spent working abroad. I feel that my personal artwork was influenced by my time living and working in Taiwan where I discovered the beauty of Asian brush painting. The simplicity, grace and uncluttered art form of sumi-e stayed with me even when I returned home.
