In 1960, I came to Venice, Ca, with a wife and two kids in a 55 Chevy station wagon, in quest of a future. It was the right place at the right time. In 1972, my family and I moved to Summit, Oregon. Thirty-five years later, I am still a self-employed artist. I want to thank all the friends who have helped me along this path, and to thank Venice and Summit for being an environment that encourages the arts.
Through the medium of silk-screen, also known as serigraphy. I ve been able to reproduce my designs in volume, usually 100 at a time. It is like having 100 canvases on which to experiment, using different colors of papers and inks, varying the color blends as I go along. Thus, no two prints are alike. As an artist, I ve been able to sell my work inexpensively, to communicate and share with others. Unlike mass-produced machine prints, each silk-screen print is made step by step, each color a seperate printing.
Besides doing posters for the Monterey Jazz Festival and the Abbot Kinney Street Fair in Venice, I enjoy making theater posters for the Oregon Shakespeare Theater and Oregon State University.

Every year I look forward to seeing you all at my booth at the Oregon Country Fair in Veneta, Or.
I also have an extensive portfolio of nature prints,original sketches, paintings,and a series of theme posters for the Oregon Coast Aquarium, in Newport, Oregon.

In the late 1950s, Warhol began to devote more energy to painting. He made his first Pop paintings, which he based on comics and ads, in 1961. The following year marked the beginning of Warhol’s celebrity. He debuted his famous Campbell’s Soup Can series, which caused a sensation in the art world. Shortly thereafter he began a large sequence of movie star portraits, including Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and Elizabeth Taylor. Warhol also started his series of “death and disaster” paintings at that time.
Between 1963 and 1968 Warhol worked with his Superstar performers and various other people to create hundreds of films. These films were scripted and improvised, ranging from conceptual experiments and simple narratives to short portraits and sexploitation features. His works include Empire (1964), The Chelsea Girls (1966), and the Screen Tests (1964-66).
Warhol’s first exhibition of sculptures was held in 1964. It included hundreds of replicas of large supermarket product boxes, including Brillo Boxes and Heinz Boxes. For this occasion, he premiered his new studio, painted silver and known as “The Factory”. It quickly became “the” place to be in New York; parties held there were mentioned in gossip columns throughout the country. Warhol held court at Max’s Kansas City, a nightclub that was a popular hangout among artists and celebrities. By the mid-1960s he was a frequent presence in magazines and the media.
Warhol expanded into the realm of performance art with a traveling multimedia show called The Exploding Plastic Inevitable, which featured The Velvet Underground, a rock band. In 1966 Warhol exhibited Cow Wallpaper and Silver Clouds at the Leo Castelli Gallery.
