As an artist I entered my first professional juried competition in 1965, at
Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, CA, and was accepted. My work at that
time, as a painter, was abstract expressionism—think of melding
Pollock’s angst with Rothko’s form, his sense of place. I continued my
expressionistic bent, and showing until I entered college
(wanting) to become a scientist-architect. It was then that my
photographic nature reared its head in a more formal architectural genre.
By the late ‘90’s and into the early noughts my work became more
minimalist and I was known for a time as Daniel Scissorhands due to my
propensity to cut out what I did not want. This trait has become
characteristic of my work. My photography has become painterly—and at
times, sculptural. My photography is in collection at LACMA (Los
Angeles County Museum of Art), and the Chinese-American Museum
(Los Angeles).
