My childhood was Pleasant Hill, California. The memories of being saturated in the natural beauty of the California landscape has never stopped fueling my imagination and inspiration. This was my first studio. I didn’t realize I I was growing up in the canvases I would later paint. I was an artist long before I realized that’s what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I have lived and worked in San Anselmo, California for over 30 years. Marin County continues to feed me with natural inspiration and a community that fuels my creativity. I am inspired by something new every day.
I am a recovering Introvert
More than Meets the Eye
Curiosity is my muse. As an artist I search for new visual territories and find new versions of what can be hidden from the naked eye.
The reality seen in nature is my favorite starting point when I begin a painting. But, find it impossible to create something that still looks like "the real thing" when I finish. Each painting reflects its own life and is always somehow — different. Drawing and painting are my core creative tools.
