Biography
I help people, who express their individuality through distinctive surroundings, fill their homes with unique art that sparks conversations.
​
An artist for over 30 years, I have been a full-time professional since 2009, exhibiting locally and nationally. Additionally, I'm a published author, illustrator, teacher, and tour leader. I've been commissioned to write many articles for Leisure Painter magazine and have also contributed to Artists and Illustrators magazine.
​
When not in my studio, you'll most likely find me at the beach, searching for intriguing wave-sculpted treasures, sea-glass, fossils, and rock formations. Outside of my art, I love challenging myself with fiendish brainteaser puzzles, chilling with friends, and binge-watching home-makeover shows.
