A native Minnesotan, I came to Brookings via Southern California, New York, Europe, a "previous life" here in the Pacific Northwest, Hawaii, Yellowstone and Death Valley National Parks.
My formal education put me in the world of computer analysis and programming which led to the wonderful world of audio/visual multi-image as a writer/producer/director and photographer. I had the privilege of traveling far and wide.
A secondary career in food and beverage with major hotels had me traveling even more...all the while with my trusty 35mm camera, sketchpad and journal. I found myself day-dreaming about painting the wonderful people, wildlife and the incredible scenery I've encountered.
Several years ago I made the decision to take an art class to fulfill my dream of "becoming an artist". (I have been drawing since childhood and took a few awards as a teenager, but "life" got in the way as I pursued a different higher education to be able to make a living. I never quit sketching everything I saw though.)
What a joy it was to see my "black and white" world of pen, ink and graphite sketches turn into glowing color!
Watercolor mesmerizes me. A medium I refer to as a "controlled accident". Something which represents itself as a constant "trial and error".......demanding and real planning, yet letting the colors do their thing also.
My preference is to paint faces and wildlife scenes that evoke an emotional response in the viewer. I do a lot of photography, but now it's digital and am still learning that process!
I've been juried in at the "Made in California" exhibit, Brea, California, as well as the Orange County Fair and the Guggenheim Gallery at Chapman University. I've won numerous 1st place awards, most recently at the 2010 Azalea Festival and the Curry County Fair as well as "purchase" awards and the "Winsor and Newton" Award for excellence in watercolor. I am also proud to say I have many pieces of my art in private collections in the U.S. and Canada.
I am proud to be a member of the Pelican Bay Arts Association in Brookings and was a member of the Orange Art Association and Studio 250 while living in southern California. I find I am constantly trying to expand my artistic expressions, no matter what the medium!

Four Oregon coast artists, wanting the ultimate painting challenge depicting the figure, have used live models from which to design, draw, and paint from life for several years. While they have successfully submitted their work to regional, state, and national shows, the final satisfaction has been getting together to have fun. This exhibition is a collaboration of their works, with fresh, lively brushwork and colors that breathe life into paintings executed in watercolor, acrylic, and oil.
