When I was a child I had one of those 110mm cameras and decided I would write and photograph the next great American bird field guide but I had a lot of trouble getting close enough to anything other than the dead birds the cat brought me so I gave up my book dreams but kept my love of art and photography. The digital camera eventually replaced the 110mm and I learned a lot about photography from my mother. I took art classes through school to help develop my eye for balance, color and design, and I later attended Brooks College of Graphic Design. As a member of the Concord Art Association I won 2nd and a 3rd place in two different shows with my fine art paintings.  I love experimenting with all kinds of mediums and combining things to create unique pieces.

My paintings primarily focus on bold abstracts and mixed media.  Nature imspires me with its vivid colors and flowing shapes.
