After a successful career in Goldsmithing and Jewelry Design, I have continued my artistic calling through painting. Portraits are my first love, but as an artist I have a deep interest in still life painting, having always felt that a good still life can be a portrait of the person connected to the objects of the piece. As an Award winning artist my paintings are throughout this country and Europe.

Studying with such artists ads Bill Shultz, Carol Olfield, a Master’s Class with Tina Tamarro, my education is ongoing. Books, tapes, lectures and demonstrations by notable artists are part of my everyday life. I never stop studying.

For the client looking for "An Heirloom Portrait" my object is to give them that moment in time, and unlike a photograph, paint a portrait that will seem to have a "Life of it’s Own".
