I am primarily a visual artist based in Seattle, WA. with more than 23 years in the craft of sign writing and graphics, as well as murals, pinstriping and other avenues of adornment. I additionally have a personal practice in exploratory painting sometimes mixed with an old habit of word play and poetry. I like the avenue of sculpture but haven't delved far into that realm just yet

Muneer's book: Upright Bass: The Musical Life & Legacy of Jamil Nasser documents 50 years of that history.

I graduated Earlham College in 1988 with a degree in Biology and a minor in Ceramics. My ceramics has actually constituted a larger part of my career than the biology, but my work reflects both adequately. I pursue explorations in texture and pattern in much of my studio production, and have a very unique method I developed for making natural expression tiles and mosaics, sculptures, and vessels.
