I have always loved art, but my parents were aerospace engineers, so doing art was not encouraged in our home. I became a Technical Illustrator and dropped out of college, continuing with my career for more than 25 years. I found some of my skills to be lacking when it came to organic shapes so I took figure drawing and other art classes. This changed everything for me. I finally felt like a true artist. My world opened up and Ive been playing ever since.

I love to learn new techniques and for this reason I find it hard to stick with any one thing for very long. I am going through a kind of metamorphosis, finding inspiration everywhere. My interests include antique restoration, leaded glass, costume design, and all kinds of art. I've also remodeled 2 homes. I love color and houses are just a bigger canvas. Plus it's fun to rip something apart and make it pretty again. I am currently in the process of building my own house. As the owner/designer/builder, I am learning so much. It's only a slight detour, a year, maybe more. It's still art and it make me happy.

So this website will focus on just my art so as not to confuse anyone.
