Our Shows for Spring, 2025
We'll be participating in a group show along with about 25 of our fellow local imagemakers from the Community of Digital Artista (CODA) at the R.Blitzer Gallery on the west side of Santa Cruz, April 3-26, 2025 at 2801 Mission St. There will be special events there on April 4 and April 26. Hours and details here.
I'll be mounting a large one-man showing as part of the San Lorenzo Valley Art Tour once again this May, on the 17th and 18th. Artists from south Felton to Boulder Creek will be showing work from photography to sculpture to blown glass all along Highway 9. Come visit me inside the Satellite Workspaces in downtown Felton, from 11 to 5pm both days.

You can browse our many galleries under the "Portfolio" menu choice. Or look into our
Wonders of the Sea
series of books, framed photography for your walls, or our marine conservation work.
"I've seen a lot of changes in Central California's ocean since I began diving here in 1978. I first took a camera underwater in 1982.
Since then I've been using images to communicate the beauty and fragility of our marine life to people who might
otherwise never know about it."
