As a child gazing into the dreamy, yet haunting landscape and still life paintings created by a favorite Aunt, I decided early on that I wanted to explore painting with oils! Although raising a family and a career slowed this goal down a bit, I continued to explore lifelong dreams and began to paint.
A career brought me to what would become my second love, the Central Coast of California! I planted roots, worked hard, painted when time permitted and raised a family. I've been an artist for over 35 years and paint whenever there is a spare moment.
I love to paint with several fine layers of oil paint (glazing) to give each piece a translucent effect. There are endless skies, sea and hillsides here to fill the heart of an artist.
