Born in southern Idaho, I lived in Arizona for 35 years before moving to Port Ludlow in 2005.
I’m an abstract painter who loves to work with vibrant color, unusual design, bold composition and line. My favorite medium is acrylics, into which I collage hand-made paper and texturing pastes.
As an experimental painter, every new canvas is an intuitive adventure. I have no preconceived ideas when I begin. My challenge is to use color and texture to build rich layers of paint while incorporating materials that fascinate me. Sometimes the final piece surprises me.
