When I was 4yrs old, I picked up a pencil and some paper and fell in love.
As I got older, this love grew into a passion and eventually I went to college to study art and design, then got side tracked into making an animated film.
This led to my career in Hollywood as an animator, designer, and illustrator for the next 35 years.
Trained by Disney veteran animators John Freeman, Loony Tunes animator Corny Cole, and Yellow Submarine animator Duane Crowther, after my apprenticeships with these kind and generous icons of animation, I opened my own animation studio in Santa Monica.
As the digital animation wave appeared in the 1990's, 2D animation slipped into the quiet lagoons of history,
and I shifted into being a director for Nickelodeon Cartoons and developed "Dora, The Explorer", the animated TV series.
Then directed and art directed "Tales Of The Maya Skies" a full dome 3D animated planetarium show, that took me to the moon and back.
I was recently trained by the world renown artist, Mayumi Oda,
in her special hand made screen printing artwork technique, and have created the "Surf Buddhas" art series.
I am presently illustrating my graphic novel about my ancestors migrating to America in the early 1900's.
I now live in an outdoor habitat in a Hawaiian rainforest, off-the-grid and growing fruits and vegetables from our garden.
I use many different medias & mediums, such as painting in oil, pastels, and acrylics, sculpting with clay, graphic design, book illustration and animation . I believe that working in multiple medias is essential to my artistic evolution. Each idea manifests in its own individual style and medium.
I love Surfing, Tai Chi and Art. These journeys into my inner and outer nature has given me a new artistic direction-
giving service to my local community and caretaking the aina.
