About

I am a life-long artist and an emerging painter, primarily working in oils. With a bold palette, I represent subjects that project lively color or curious form.  I am inspired by shape, texture, light and color.  I see images that I am compelled to paint, regardless of genre.

My paintings range through Still Life, Landscape, Figurative, Floral, Abstract and Structural. Having explored many different mediums, oils give me the most pleasure and a seemingly endless spectrum to work with.

Learning is a constant in my life and current painting study is evolving toward En Plein Air and Impressionistic forms, creating landscape, figurative and still life images with a more open and fluid approach.

I have experience teaching in Adult learning environments as well as recreational entertainment art venues.  With a deep sense of adventure, I welcome the opportunity to explore new places, which always inspires my artistic tendencies.
