I studied liberal arts and visual arts at Lewis and Clark College in  Portland, Oregon and completed my art degree at the University of Utah with a BFA in  painting.  My love for nature, passion for the water and mountains,  and interest in multi- cultural art and expression influence both my  subject matter and style. My artistic passion is both printmaking  (intaglio, monoprint, and woodcut) and painting, because I can work expressively.  For five years I painted and worked from home studio and the University of Utah printmaking and painting studios.  For  nearly six years I worked both out of my home studio and in the print shop at the Hui  No'eau in Maui, HI. Recently my son and I moved to northern Michigan where I work and create art out of our home.
