My Story

​​I love inventing something new.  Stucco came into my life when I moved to Southern California.  It is an alternative to mosaic that I was doing when I developed my mosaic cacti.  However stucco is more versatile.  Seems like mosaics were always missing a tile eventually.  Stucco can have mirrors and tiles embedded in it to a point and seems more secure to me.

   I have done Art all my life in institutions.  I taught Art at Inarajan Jr High on Guam and went around the world experimenting with all sorts of mediums.  I worked in Seattle for many years and then Alaska for twenty five years.  I am always affected by my environment.

​

  I love stucco because it reminds me of my dad.  He and I used to mix cement together to make concrete patios when I was a kid.  I miss him.  I have been in Southern California near my mother for twelve years and I love the way things dry so quickly in this near perfect climate.
