Born in 1953 in Asheville, North Carolina at Black Mountain College where my parents were going to Art School. I grew up in Topanga Canyon, California . Most of my parents friends were artists, a lot of them painters, in Los Angeles. I took classes from a few of them and I became an artists model for some of them. It was an inspirational upbringing.

For me painting is about expressing emotions and feelings and prayers in Color and Movement, Light and Texture. I love the freedom and risk of the abstract.

My Studio is at my home in Southern Oregon off the Redwood Highway that leads down to the Oregon and California coast. I am surrounded by the wilds of nature and I find that inspirational to my work. I would welcome art loving visitors to my Studio if you happen to find yourself in my neck of the woods.

My work has been shown at the Art Students League of Denver,  the Niza Knoll Gallery in Denver, the Boulder Library Gallery, Open Studios Boulder, First Fridays at Cedar Art Studios and at the Rembrandt Gallery, Boulder.
