About the Artist

I am a visual story teller. Each painting tells a tale or asks a question about stewarding what believe to be our greatest gifts, children and nature.
To do this I work in 3 mediums, Western Watercolor, Asian Ink and Chalk Pastel. Each medium has distinct properties that reveal different stories. The liquidness of Western Watercolor creates infinite subtle changes in texture and color. Asian Ink records the immediate with spontaneous brush strokes. Chalk Pastel builds dry layers sculpting form and color.
Part of my guiding principles is to keep original art affordable. I do not make reproductions of my work. Also if I can not rely on reproductions for inventory I must paint all the time. This hones my skill and my evolving vision.I have installment plans as well as rent to own options.
Teaching is an integral part of my art. Teaching is continual exploration.
