I am a lifelong artist passionate about creating and exploring the world of visual expression.
I have a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing from the University of Maryland and a Bachelor of Fine Art in Painting from Western Michigan University. I have dedicated over four decades to developing my artistic skills and educating others. After retiring from Regis University in Denver, where I shared my knowledge and love for art with countless students, I continue to showcase my artwork in galleries across the United States. My pieces have reached national and international audiences, and my gallery affiliations in New York, Texas, Florida, Colorado, and Kentucky have allowed me to connect with art enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds.
Speaking of Kentucky, it is the place I proudly call home. The picturesque farm where I reside serves as an endless source of inspiration. The serene beauty of the landscape, with its rolling hills, vibrant colors, and captivating charm, has found its way into many of my paintings. Capturing these elements on canvas allows me to share my deep appreciation for nature's wonders with the world.
