While I have a formal art education, I find myself breaking rules more and more often and certainly trying to "un-teach" a lot of the formal part of the education. I just do what I love best, indeed, have to do...Create.

I am constantly inspired by life and my surroundings. I find that abstract expressionism and experimentation suits me best though I enjoy working representational as well. It depends on my mood. I use a wide range of media including Pen and Ink, Acrylics, Watercolors, Colored Pencils, Pastels, Collage, Sand, Found Objects, Homemade Papers...almost anything I can get my hands on.

I live at the door of Olympic National Park in Washington State. The beaches, the mountains, the rainforests... perfect place for isolation to create beautiful art. ...
