I was born in Massachusetts and spent 28 yrs. in Southern California, now in Rio Verde since 1989.  Art has been a part of life since I was a child.  The first lessons I took were from Eddie Lopez, who has been coming to Rio Verde for years.  He has been a big inspiration for me and has refined my art beyond my expectations.  After trying several mediums, I have settled on acrylic.

I have had so much satisfaction having my art in many homes in Rio Verde, and now some in Tonto Verde.   Painting is my love, portraits my favorite, but westerns and still life are a challenge too.  I look forward to creating many more paintings and taking part in the excitement of the art shows.
