Born and raised in the Midwest I grew to love the dramatic weather and changing seasons, woods and trees. Always had a love for the West, the ocean, and the people. Moved to Pasadena, CA. to attend Art Center College of Design where I graduated in Fine Arts. I have practiced my art since I was old enough to hold a crayon. My current interests are nature oriented, in landscapes, light, water, and dramatic skies. I enjoy painting California scenes, as well as simple still life settings. I maintain a studio is South Pasadena.
