As a child, I never left home without crayons and coloring books.  Sometimes the crayons melted in the car and I still used them.  The colors changed, but my passion remained. As an adult I have traveled to more than 65 countries chronicling people and journeys through artwork.  I paint en plein air and from live models.  I also work in my Arlington/VA studio and exhibit at the Art and Frame Falls Church frame gallery.  My work is versatile and is expressed in watercolor, oil, mixed media and 3-D jewelry art. 

My portraits capture raw emotion through a no frills approach that fosters connectivity between the participant and subject.

The landscapes carry a range of experiences and emotions from threatening, serious to joyful and invite you to share the experience.

The still-life work is full of vitality that helps explain the linkages between what we see, touch and feel and how this interactivity generates a bond between humans and objects.
