BIOGRAPHY

My work is non-representational created primarily with acrylic paint.  I enjoy working with texture and lots of layers revealing elements of each previous strata.   I lived and worked in the SF Bay Area for over 30 years and then relocated from Sonoma County to Greenville, SC in 2013.   I now work in my home studio.  One of my first art classes was clay monotype printing with Diana Crain at Tortuga Studio in Petaluma, CA.  I still enjoy including some form of printmaking in my work.  I’m motivated to experiment with texture, color, and design and am fortunate to spend my days doing what I love.
