I am a painter and mixed media artist with a special interest in landscapes. My Midwest roots and vacations in New England broadened my understanding of contrast in form and color in nature.
In 1977, I moved with my family from Michigan to Arizona. I especially love working with vibrant colors and portraying the history of the Southwest and the tranquility of the Sonoran Desert.
I studied art at Michigan State University and the Cranbrook Institute of Art as well as have taken classes from individual artists.
