Influences

Bridgeway, Sausalito, California, 1980
View from the Golden Gate Ferry going into San Francisco.

This is where I lived for twelve years on a dock in Sausalito, Caliifornia. It was Heaven. The house I lived in is the one in the center of the picture with the reddish glow around the door. It was while living in this special place that I worked on my Ph.D., "Art and The Personal Symbolic Process" from the Union Graduate School.

I am writing a book called, "Out of Sausalito."

I fell in love with the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh when I was twelve years old. This image is a composit of portraits as Vincent saw himself.
