I am a lifelong resident of the West Coast, currently working and living in Long Beach California. I am a juried member of both the California Art Club and the Oil Painters of America, a signature member of the Montana Watercolor Society, and an associate member of the Portrait Society, AMSA, and LPAPA. My artwork has received awards and recognition from The Portrait Society, Montana Watercolor Society, Watercolor West, and Scottsdale Art School.
I received training at the Scottsdale Art School, Academy of Art University, and through private workshops with such elite artists as Brian Blood, Kimball Geisler, Matt Smith, Robert Liberace, and Dustin Van Wechel.

Artist Statement
I feel fortunate to spend my days doing what I love! I paint for the sake of painting: the process, materials, tools, and paints are all inspiring to me. My favored subject matter is organic in nature: landscapes, seascapes, animals, and birds. Light and color are my spark, and I hope my artwork helps others see the beauty that I see everywhere I look.
