I began my journey as a painter falling in love with the old rusty tractors.  It was their great curves and personalities that hooked me. Over the years my interests have expanded to include landscapes, cityscapes, portraits, farms and animals.  I am a plein air painter and spend most of my days out in the elements which makes every painting an adventure. When I am not painting, I teach at my rural Petaluma Art studio and compete nationally in plein air competitions.
