I love dogs, cats, the garden, and the great out of doors. The sunsets, the bad weather, the beautiful flowers that grow with encouragement, the seasons, the starry nite and the sunny day. In all of what is nature and natural there is inspiration for my paintings.

I lived in Kansas City, Missouri since 1980. I was born in California, raised in Seattle and have spent lots of time in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Corvallis Oregon. I have a BFA from UNLV, and taught school for ten years in Las Vegas before moving to Kansas City.
