About the Artist:
Scenic landscapes throughout California create endless inspiration for my work. I enjoy painting outdoors as well as from my own photos in the studio. My goal is to capture the essence of something beautiful on the canvas. Viewers describe my paintings as calm, serene, and restful. I am continuing to explore color and a painterly, slightly abstract feel in my work.
I moved to Benicia in 2013 after a rewarding career at University of the Pacific. I became a regular visitor to Benicia’s galleries and joined Arts Benicia as Development Associate in 2017. Through these connections I have met dozens of amazing and talented artists. This friendly and supportive artist community has been the primary reason for my development as an artist, for which I’m very grateful.
I enjoy exploring a variety of media, but I work mainly in oils. You can see my work at Gallery 621 920 1st Street, Suite 203, Benicia.
