About Me
A few years ago, A well known NY City artist told me I should have a website. I'm not exactly sure why I should have one but I decided to go-for-it so here it is and thank you for dropping by!
A self-taught artist, I came to painting rather late in life after raising a family. Much like raising children, painting is a fascinating pursuit and one never tires of the endless variations and possibilities it holds nor the challenges that it presents. Making art is hard work but I continue to learn every time I pick up a paint brush. It has become one of the greatest joys of my life! My medium is oils and my subjects are varied but I mainly paint still lifes in a rather Old-World style – sometimes with a modern twist.
I was raised in Berkeley, California and I have made my home on beautiful Whidbey Island, Washington for nearly 46 years. I have a small studio in my home.
