Personal History

I was born in (then West) Berlin in 1962. I came to the USA in 1970, settling in Washington D.C. for the high school years, and finally in Charlottesville, Virginia for College and Real Life.

B.A. Astronomy, B.A. Studio Art, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, in 1985. Technical illustrator since 1988: research and conceptual graphics for the scientific community, popular press, and corporate clients. 3d CG art since 1994, and stereoscopic illustration and 3d photography since 1997.
