When I was in kindergarten my teacher asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. The choice was easy, I wanted to be an Artist. I have always seen the world through a lens of beauty and curiosity, but my passion and skill was truly developed while earning a BA in studio art at CSU Fresno.  My work is largely inspired by the natural landscape in places I have lived, including Hume Lake in Sequoia National Forest, The Berkshires of Western Mass and Carlsbad in Southern California. I enjoy many forms of artistic expression; theater, drawing, song writing, sculpture, poetry and photography, but the focus of my work is oil painting. The gallery page hosts some of my favorite work.
