I have been teaching at UHCL for over 32 years and I am a professor of art in painting, drawing and printmaking. 

As a professional artist I have had exhibitions throughout the U.S. and Europe.  My artworks are in permanent collections.  I am an abstract landscape oil painter.  All of my images are inspired from my work in the Texas, Czech Republic, Mexico, and Slovakia.
