My acrylic paintings are color studies which record my impressions of the effects of color and light upon the landscapes I visit and observe. I love to juxtapose unlikely colors to establish movement and luminosity.

I have always been surrounded by art as my mother was a painter and made wood-block prints and engravings.

I majored in art in college and studied with artists in New York and California. After grad school I became a secondary art teacher and continued painting.

Recently my interest has been focused on painting scenes of ocean, rocks, and cliffs — which I have visited on the Northern and Central coast.
