“I am a graphic designer.
I was born in Avignon France.
In 1961 I immigrated to South America and lived in Peru where I opened my own design Studio in Lima.
During next 25 years I designed logos, and engaged in publication design and book design, several of which received awards of excellence.
I taught the basics of graphic design at the Facultad de Artes Plasticas of the Universidad Catolica in Lima, Peru, and during my seven year tenure I was the director of the graphic design school.
In the eighties I immigrated to the United States; after residing in New York and Miami for some time, I moved to the west coast.
Since I arrived in San Francisco, I have taught calligraphy classes, lettering, and typography at the Academy of Art University.
I am practicing graphic design and calligraphy as an independent artist.”
“Whether calligraphy is considered a craft or an art, the spiritual aspect should be considered an integral part of it. I cannot separate or ignore such an important thing. Calligraphy brings me something that a computer would take away from me, an opportunity to communicate tete-a-tete with myself, to practice a kind of dynamic meditation. I feel calligraphy is a spiritual discipline”.
