Statement
I am interested in light and air and open spaces.
I paint my experience of what is around me; a feeling for the place or object that affects me on some emotional level.
I work for a simplicity I find in nature, along with a spontaneous and abstracted quality; whether the subject is from memory, the landscape, or a simple household object.

Fulfilling my student teaching experience in Winchester, England, I taught art in the Long Beach Unified School District. I currently live in Olympia, Washington.
