About me

Living in the S.F. South Bay area, and teaching traditional skills of pottery and painting in nearby cities. Received BFA in Studio Art from the University of Southern California, studied ceramics and painting courses with Mr. Ken Price and Mr. Bob Alderette. Followed, I pursued for a business degree in Golf Complex Operation at San Diego; I was enthusiastic, participated in more than 70 academy tournaments, certified as a golf club fitter and a teaching certification in golf, but nothing went on to art until graduation. After finishing both schools, I came back to the South Bay area of San Francisco, setup a personal studio and explore ways to provide interesting art subjects for the art classes I teach. While working, I actively study related courses in spare time, continue to develop a better process in making art.
