Momentary shifts of light, color, shadows on the water and the landscape often inspire me to render them as a visual story in oils.  My approach is open to change as I enjoy new viewpoints and compositions.  It’s an artistic journey. Expressive in drawing and blending pastels as a youngster, I went on to earn a BA in Art from Antioch College, O. and then an MA in Printmaking at Stanford with California artist Nathan Olivera.  Taking a break from individual art work, my gifts of visualization led to an interior design career where I enjoyed helping clients enhance spaces they could not master on their own.  Eventually the artistic road returned to my passion for painting and drawing.  Life drawing is a passion, while with dedicated studio work in oils my portfolio is growing, along with exhibitions and collectors.

Thank you for visiting.  I am open to consulting on more personalized pieces and sizes to suit your needs.
