3 time Senior Fulbright Scholar, experienced University professor and practicing artist since childhood. I teach both art and architectural lecture courses and studios as I wish they would have been taught to me. Much of the graphic material in my lectures is taken or generated first hand directly by me on site. I have a good number of publications and research projects in art and architecture and have exhibited my paintings in several countries..
