Art has been important to me since childhood. Living in Northern California provides wonderful artistic opportunities. Working in several medias allows a style that has been described by viewers and clients as vivid, colorful and somewhat impressionistic.
Enthusiasm and passion for the subject is a key element in my painting.
My work has been included in major exhibits such as the:
. Sacramento Fine Arts International
Opus X, Sacramento, California;
. California Watercolor Association
Exhibits, San Francisco Calif.;
. The Oil Painters of America Exhibit,
Carmel, California;
. The Society of Western Artists,

Traveling Exhibits, Madera Calif.
. Central California Art League Exhibits,
Gallo Winery Headquarters,
Modesto, California;
. North Valley Art League Nat'l Exhibits,
Redding, California
. Highland Art Center Annual Exhibits,

I have received Best of Show, First and Second awards in several of these exhibits and my work is in private collections throughout the United States. I am an associate member of the Oil Painters of America & California Watercolor Association . I am a signature member of the Society of Western Artists, Alliance of California Artists, Plein Air Painters of the North State.
