art school

I received my art training at the La Jolla Museum School in San Diego on a full two year scholarship to study painting and ceramics. My friend and mentor was the acclaimed West Coast artist, Charles Emerson, a graduate of Yale School of Art & Architecture.

His studio had an enormous floor to ceiling glass window 40 feet wide with a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean. I surfed close by: a member of the Carl Exstrum Surf Team.

I learned how to make pottery on a kick wheel and glaze it in a red hot kiln; loved that!! I painted with Charles. We would meet at night and discuss color and texture and listen to jazz and classical notes … then we would paint; my work on large canvases I constructed and stretched and his on amazing huge aluminum discs. At that time we both painted in a lyrical abstractionist style; Very trendy… very California … very 60’s.

In addition, I had the wonderful experience of learning how to hang major art shows, planning and working on events with the museum director. We hung shows of many famous artists’ including: DE KOONING, ROTHKO, and RAUSCHENBERG. After the La Jolla Museum I spent six months at the San Francisco Institute of Art School.

Like many artists I supported myself working in restaurants as a waiter, short order cook, banquet manager, and host. Then one day … I was reading the classified ads in the San Diego Tribune and I saw an ad for an entry level copywriter. My mother was a writer and, I always loved to write, so I responded and got the job and that was it …
I’ve had the bug for the Communication Arts ever since …
