Drawing or painting from life -- from a live model or out in the natural landscape "en plein aire" are my preferred ways of working. I also work in my studio based on sketches and photos I taken, or still life setups. Currently my paintings are primarily in oil, and my drawings in pastel or conte. I am always inspired by the beauty around me in the natural world, and hope to celebrate and explore that in my work.

 

Professionally, I have worked in visual design and marketing communications in the Silicon Valley area of California for 30+ years. I currently live in Minnesota.
