My love of art, in particular, painting began at an early age when I was fortunate to visit a museum of art as a 3rd grader in Dayton, Ohio. I found myself attracted to the paintings by French impressionists. I was fascinated by the technique, the capturing of light and the moment, by the use of paint.
That field trip would lead me to dabble in art for years as a hobby. Fast forward a couple decades later and a career move to New Mexico, where once again, I would be exposed to great art. Inspired for a second time in life I decided to act on what was, for me, a calling. I had to pursue the desire to become an artist, at least I had to give it ago. I did not want to spend the rest of my life wondering, " What if?"
The light, subject matter and history of great artists pursuing their craft in New Mexico was motivating and inspirational! Places like Santa Fe and Taos were a mecca. Art was a way of life. My life's direction was forever changed. I was on the road to becoming a professional artist!
My career as an artist has spanned 39 years with representation in galleries across the nation. From southwestern landscapes, to lush gardens and waterlily ponds, to a palette knife still life I paint what surrounds my everyday life! In my studio I can travel to every corner of the world.
Currently residing in Scottsdale, Az. I have owned fine art galleries in New Mexico and Colorado. As a gallery owner I have promoted and represented over 40 artists!
