I am a Florida Artist originally from a small town in Michigan, now painting in Florida.
My works are original oil paintings inspired by Mother Nature.
I want to communicate my love of nature to help others see and appreciate the natural environment around them.

My goal is to give others a calming and imaginative experience in their homes when they contemplate my oil paintings.

I enjoy the creative composing of my landscapes using my store of images and my imagination. I combine my sketchbook images and photos to form my imaginary landscape.
I then feel excited and fulfilled when my work goes well.
Even as a child my happiest times were when I was creating art or attending art activities and museums.

I am a member of the Tarpon Springs Art Association, the Creative Artists Guild, and NOAPS. I have been chosen to show my original oil paintings in many of their juried exhibits.

I have had solo exhibits in Grand Rapids MI, Dunedin FL, Oldsmar FL and Tarpon Springs FL.. I have shown oil paintings in group exhibits in Clearwater FL, Crystal Beach FL, Tarpon Springs FL, Oldsmar FL, Dunedin FL, Sarasota FL, Safety Harbor FL, Tampa FL Art Museum, Miami FL, Kutztown PA, Grand Rapids MI, Jay NY, Plattsburgh NY, Keesville NY, Chicago IL, the New York Art Expo of 2007, the Art Expo Las Vegas in 2007, Art Prize for two years in Grand Rapids MI and the online NOAPS exhibit 2021
