My inspirations do not just
come from many of the great
masters, but from the artists
I have studied under during my
education. I have also been
fortunate to have a mother who
also has a BFA from WSU. She
was the catalyst for me to
pursue my art degree, and is
still painting at age 88.
Besides my mother, the person
who was an early mentor to me
was artist/sculptor Victor
"Vic" Moore. He was my art
instructor for six years in
the Pullman School District –
when art was still considered
curriculum.
Most of my work leans towards
Realism, and usually conveys
an image of calmness or
wonder. Though each painting,
or photograph, has a special
meaning to me, I want the
viewer to walk away with their
own emotions from the work -
in this way they also become
part of the creative process.
Many artists are known for one
certain style or subject
matter. The search to create
something different sometimes

| Your Personal Biography |
I was born in Seattle, Washington in 1952. My family moved to Pullman, Washington in 1953, where I lived through my young adult years. In 1976 I obtained a BA in Fine Arts from Washington State University. I have lived the last 31 years in Tacoma, Washington, where I have been working the past 20 years in the aerospace industry as a methods analyst. I have slowly been transitioning back to what my heart desires – my art and photography.
I am a current member of the Northwest Pastel Society.
Juried member of World Wide Arts Resource as a Premiere Artist
