Inspired by J.M.W. Turner, Georgia O'Keefe, Massimo Cruciani, Edgar Degas and many others, I am pleased to be an artist painting in oils (palette knife and brush), soft pastels, paintings on glass and now watercolors. My landscapes are driven by my travel memories. My flowers are inspired by the actual thing -- I once had a pressed and dried flower business. And my skies -- my hero is Turner. What more can I say?
My motto: "Life is short, use color!" I hope you enjoy my show.

Sunny Day in Capitol Reef (Utah), palette knife oil painting
Beautiful Utah. We live right next door to it. Red earth. Blue skies. Desert. High plains. Canyons. A number of national parks. You absolutely must visit this place! It's like another planet, absolutely marvelous, very unreal compared to many parts of the U.S. A hiker's paradise. Capitol Reef is often, unfortunately, overlooked, but being overlooked doesn't mean it's a bad thing. When we were there, it almost felt like we had it all to ourselves. You'll love it!
