About the Artist

I  have  "done art" since early childhood, though without any formal training,  working in pencil and pastels through high school.  In my early twenties I painted in oils for a few years, then put art aside to pursue a business career.  There came a time several years ago where I knew I needed something more creative in my life; I picked up my brushes again and began to paint in earnest.

Western landscapes are my favorite subject, from the golden summer hills along the California coast, to the foothills of the local mountains, the Arizona desert and the Grand Teton range in Wyoming  - the West provides an infinite variety  of inspiring scenes.   I also enjoy painting animals within a landscape.

I am delighted to be represented by Joyous Lake Gallery in Pinetop-Lakeside, Arizona, a charming mountain resort community.  This  gallery features landscapes of the many different areas of the West.   www.joyouslakegallery.com  

I was recently introduced to a wonderful new venue here in Southern California, Historic Lighting in Old Town Monrovia.  This beautiful interior design store has a "western room," HL Ranch, where I have found a perfect place for my western genre paintings.  Subsequently the owner invited me to display my landscapes in the "front room" as well, where the decor is Craftsman-style furniture and lighting.    www.historiclighting.com

I'll be returning to Descanso Gardens for a month-long show beginning in mid-September 2008.   Check out other events on the Shows & Exhibitions page.
