Welcome to my site
My trip into the art world is a continuing adventure. I am constantly inspired by the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, its landscapes, seascapes, and florals. In my paintings, I hope to inspire, show beauty, stir a bit of mystery or nostalgia in the viewer. Over the years, I have been trying to communicate the beauty around me — beauty even in ordinary things. Mixing new colors and finding new techniques have kept painting exciting for me.
