My personal passion is to create beautiful things for myself and others to enjoy. I spent many years of my life designing and producing handcrafted jewelry that many of you have seen in national mailings and catalogs. A moment came when I realized that I wanted to do something with more impact, painting was my solution.
My inspiration comes from the world around me, either experienced or imagined. I love color which is reflected in my work. Life is full of color, which alot of us tend to ignore due to our busy lives. We should all take a moment just to look up and take it all in.
Currently I am a member of The California Watercolor Association, The Siskiyou Arts Council and
the Scott Valley Artists Guild.
