The dance of color, light, and shadows found in landscapes and botanicals has always intrigued me, so I paint.

I received a BFA from Southern Oregon State University, and instructed at Colleges and Art Centers while participating in Invitational and Juried Shows throughout the Pacific NW.

Owning a gallery ~ studio in Portland’s Pearl District and leading Worldwide Art and Cultural Tours has been a rewarding part of my career.

I am grateful for the recognition and awards I have received from the Desert Plein Air Association, and the Coachella Valley Watercolor Society, both in Palm Desert, California. I am also a juried member of the Desert Art Center gallery in Palm Springs, CA., and newly active in the Dry Canyon Arts Association in Redmond, Oregon.

Old Town Artisan Studios, Ironwood Art Group, Sun City ~ Shadow Hills, and Four Seasons ~ El Dorado Hills in Southern California are venues where I teach painting and drawing.
