Glen Arbor, Michigan
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.
