My life-long love of art was nurtured in the fertile environment of southern California’s prominent artists, museums and galleries.  Academic fine art studies started at San Diego State University and commenced with a Master of Arts earned from Northern Michigan University.  Continued studies with American master watercolor artists over the next decade enriched my depth, skills and personal style of painting.  A full time artist, I exhibit internationally, jury exhibitions, give demonstrations and teach in-depth workshops internationally.
