Artist Bio:

Born in Portland 1949 and raised in Milwaukie Oregon. I completed BFA degree in Painting 1973. Traveled and lived extensively throughout the U.S. including Alaska, California, Florida and Vermont. My creative interests have resulted in occupations such as sign painting, leather craft, portrait photography, cartography,catering and graphic design. Mediums I have worked in for my artistic expression have included oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastels, photography and ceramics.  A recent return to painting after a 25 year absence, has renewed my connection to nature and the landscapes I am surrounded by in my everyday life.
