My Art Patrons: 1963-2007

Private, Museum and Corporate Collections

The private, corporate and public art collections listed below include my artworks, compiled from my list of my art from 1963 to 2007. This list, alphabetically arranged, contains approximately 325 names and may not be complete. New patrons are being added as they take ownership of my art and craft works. Plus, I sometimes discover an owner I never with whom I never had direct contact. Thanks to the Internet, some of them are coming forward to say hello, and I add them to this list. Anyone knowing owners of my work and whose names do not appear are invited to send me e-mail. Owners' names are organized by the letters of their last names, below.
