contact the artist

Although I've had a lifelong passion for art, I didn't begin painting until 16 years ago. At that time I was fortunate enough to find an instructor knowledgeable in traditional European painting techniques, and in the principles of drawing perspective and composition. I work in oils, colored pencil, and pastels. I have exhibited locally for many years and have won numerous awards, including 4 Best of Show awards. My subject matter ranges from landscape/seascape to portrait/figure. I have also done numerous commissions.
