He was born in West Texas and received both a bachelor's and master's degree from West Texas State. He resides in Albuquerque. He created this excellent watercolor in the 1980s. It is entitled "Acoma 1890" Work features an old Acoma pot (olla) with petroglyphs on both sides of the upper part of the pot. I was very struck by the incredible detail on the piece and how vivid it appears. In addition there is a small "box" in the matting that includes a piece of ancient pottery.
