My Art Patrons: 1963-2009

Private, Museum and Corporate Collections

The private, corporate and public art collections listed below include my artworks, compiled from 1963 to 2009. This list has over 350 names and is not complete as names are being added as people choose my art and craft works. Plus, owners with whom I never had direct contact are missing. Thanks to the Internet, people are sending email. I ask anyone knowing owners of my work whose names are not here to send e-mail.
