I live in the San Joaquin Valley of California in a very little town called El Nido. My sister and brother-in-law farm in the area so I have made my home here after living in Denver, Phoenix, and Southern California. I live in the midst of acres of farmland and sometimes at night the coyotes come very close to my home!
I have studied art my entire life and most recently took classes at the Art Institute of Colorado. I paint in watercolor most of the time, although I still paint in oils, use pen and ink, and colored pencil, and have also worked in metal welding (acetylene) and stained glass. I worked for some time as a commercial graphic artist.
I am a juried member of the Art for Critters eBay Group. My paintings have appeared in many gallery shows, primarily in Scottsdale, Arizona and have won several honors over the years such as the Kieckhefer award in 1990.

I share my country home with a dog and three cats at present. This is my little munchkin Tootles who often watches me paint.
