About the Artist

I began painting by taking classes at Linn Benton then began a journey of taking workshops. I started painting in acrylics, then moved to watercolor for many years.  When I started painting plein air in the desert, I found the watercolors dried too quickly.  then  I took workshops in oil painting and have stayed with that for many years. 

Blue Brook Oil and Cold wax on board 12 x 12…$250

Lemon Still Life Oil 15 x 13…$300

Oregon Vineyard Oil 14 x 13…$200

Recently, I have been exploring the medium of oil and cold wax. This is a very exciting way to paint abstract.  I am still learning and that is part of the fun, exploring a new medium and letting it develop.  I enjoy the creative process and hope others will enjoy the paintings.   Recently, my husband and I have moved to Capital Manor and are starting a new era for our lives. 

For over 30 years we have spent 6 months in  Borrego Springs, CA.
