I was a studio art major in college and went on to a career in advertising and graphic design.
I took my first workshop in oil from Kim English in 1999 and that was the start of it all. I have also studied with Peggy Kroll Roberts and several other painters at workshops in Italy, Michigan, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. Recently I took a great class from daily painter Carol Marine and another from Anne Blair Brown. I'm looking forward to a class next year with Maggie Siner. I also teach a workshop of my own in the hill country of Texas.
I travel when I can, and in the past few years have painted in Italy, France, Corsica, Cape Cod, Maine and Texas...and in my own part of the country. this fall I will be traveling and painting in Provence, France.
