Thank you for visiting my paintings. I have loved art my whole life and whenever there was an opportunity to take a class or be involved with something creative I was always a part of it. I studied at Ringling School of Art & Design, where I majored in Graphic Design. I then worked in print and advertising & publishing areas my whole career. Now, I am a painter and paint every day. My work is full of vibrant color and larger brush strokes. As a fine artist, I am mostly self-taught and have been studying the old masters for several years, although graphic design is where I started out.

Painters who have inspired me are Matisse, Klimt, Kandinsky, and other fauvist painters. I find that painting gives me peace and puts me in a place where I can focus on the beauty that is all around us.

Painting gives me the opportunity to give back to the community in different positive and meaningful ways.

I am thankful each day for my God-given gifts.
