Bio: Forty years ago, I came to California to study biology at UCSD. I took art as a minor, then got a double major in Biology and Art. I then went to graduate school at UCSD as a painter. To remember my childhood, that was stressful, I painted my family using home movies and family photos as source material. I’ve been painting families ever since from their family photos ever since in a project called The Paradise Project.
