I was born in the early 1960s, living with my mom and dad, twin brother Fred and older brother Herb. We’ve always lived in the Napa Valley and growing up in the 1960s and 1970s was a lot of fun. I remember late nights at the drive-in movie theatre all packed in a long green station wagon and daily trips to Conn Damn in the summer where we would swim in the icy cold water. Belonging to the Sierra Club, we took long hikes in the woods and camped at many lakes and rivers. All the experiences of these decades left me with the spirit of a hippie, a true gypsy soul. Walking into my home now, you will find incense, crystals, candles, djembe drums, tapestries and lots of macramé and plants. I love my home and studio!
