I have always allowed my life to move in new directions when the opportunity arose. learning a new skill or following a new passion. My art mediums? Ceramics, Encaustic, Welding, Assemblage, with a lifelong love of manipulating paint...my heart has consistently returned to Oil and Acrylic painting for the last 20 years. My professional practice is consistent with 3-4 hours of painting a day in my small studio on Lake Sammamish. I grew up in the Northwest, hiking trails on Mr. Rainier and catching smelt on the coast with handmade nets. My work has been collected throughout the United States as well as in Iceland, Mexico, and Canada.
